What is a Microgreen?

A Microgreen is the miniature version of it's matured vegetable greens. When vegetables are grown, they enter various stages of their growth, starting with sprouts 2-5 days old, to Microgreen 7-14 days old, which is the in between stage of sprouts and baby greens 3-4 weeks old. Microgreens are known to be 40 percent more nutrient dense than their fully-grown counterparts.

What are the benefits of eating Microgreens?

Microgreens are considered to be one of the ultimate super foods because they have 40% more nutrients than mature plants. According to Professor Qin Wang at University of Maryland, Microgreens are 4-40-fold more concentrated with nutrients. After testing over 25 different commercially grown Microgreens Professor Qin Wang found consistent high levels of Vitamin C, E, K, Lutein, and Beta-Carotene. Essential micro-nutrients that are essential for skin, eyes, and fighting cancer, according to Dr. Gene Lester, a USDA researcher.

They are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients which helps balance out nutrient deficiencies. Essential for our internal functions to work properly!
High in fiber which makes us feel full and pushes unwanted waste through our digestive track. Fiber feeds our gut bacteria creating a healthy and balanced micro-biome that reduces inflammation. Fiber is very much like the “Drano” of our intestinal tract.
They have a robust flavor, and best eaten in the first 7-10 days of being harvested.
Best used in smoothies, salads, juicing, soups, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, stir-fry, omelet, eggs, pizza, and plate garnishment. Pretty much any recipe, the fun in Microgreens is you get to be creative!
