What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage.
They are “living foods” – Purposefully utilized in their most nutritious and delicious state.
In the photo below, you can see sprouts on the left, microgreens in the middle and a more mature vegetable plant on the right:
Why Microgreens Are Healthier Than Regular Greens Like Lettuce, Spinach & Kale…
Their nutrient content is more concentrated
Their vitamin and antioxidants levels are up to 40X higher than more mature greens
They’re richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium
They’re richer in micro minerals such as iron, zinc and copper
And I can go on and on… They’re richer in B vitamins, essential amino acids, folate etc!
You cannot get these in supermarkets!
They’re exceptionally fresh because they’re delivered less than 24 hours after they’re harvested
They have enhanced shelf-life (minimum 7 days)
They’re grown sustainably with less water, no fertilizer and no pesticides
