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.”
