Microgreens’ Health Benefits

In February 2017, Medical News Today took a look at health benefits of microgreens and cited a study from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that shows how “microgreens do contain a higher concentration of many nutrients when compared with the mature, fully grown vegetables or herbs.”

More specifically, Medical News Today shares, microgreens have high levels of:

  • Phytonutrients
  • Antioxidants
  • Vitamins
  • Minerals
  • Enzymes

Because of the high levels of antioxidants, microgreens are “considered a functional food, a food that promotes health or prevents disease.”
