WHY MICROGREENS?
Microgreens are surging in popularity due to their nutrient-density and versatility.
Microgreens have a robust nutritional profile and are considered a “functional food” or “superfood”. They are often used by health conscious consumers to prepare nutrition-boosted meals, as well as by professional chefs in gourmet dishes.
Health Benefits of Microgreens
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.”
