What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are a tiny form of edible greens produced from the seeds of vegetable, herbs or other plants. They are not the same as sprouts. Microgreens are grown in soil or on a micro mat growing pad to a stage of development in between a sprout and a baby green. Microgreens have much stronger, more developed flavors than sprouts. They contain their dense nutritional value but are topped off with an extra boost of life sustaining chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is defined as “nature’s greatest healer” since it contains more healing properties than any other element.
Health benefits
Studies have proven that microgreens contain from 4 to 40 times more vitamins, enzymes, minerals, antioxidants and beneficial properties than its equivalent product grown to maturity. Multiple studies continue to reveal the still unknown properties of these small super-foods that deserve to be included in our daily diet. The health benefits are extraordinary. Each plant has its own benefits, but in combining a variety of shoots, it just makes you feel even better. Impress your family and friends with new tasting creations accompanied by microgreens. Microgreens deliver nutrients that are important for eyes, skin, bones, healthy digestion, reducing inflammation, preventing cardiovascular disease, fighting cancer, and strengthening the immune system. Sunflower greens are one of the most complete foods on earth and the most nutritious of all sprouts. Pea shoots are second in overall nutrition.
