What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage.
They are “living foods” – Purposefully utilized in their most nutritious and delicious state.

Why Microgreens Are Healthier Than Regular Greens Like Lettuce, Spinach & Kale…
-
Their nutrient content is more concentrated
-
Their vitamin and antioxidants levels are up to 40X higher than more mature greens
-
They’re richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium
-
They’re richer in micro minerals such as iron, zinc and copper
-
And I can go on and on… They’re richer in B vitamins, essential amino acids, folate etc!
