What Are Microgreens

Microgreens are the tender shoots and leaves of vegetables harvested soon after emerging from the soil. They are halfway in size between sprouts and baby greens, harvested usually within 2 weeks of sowing.

The Microgreen family is extensive and can consist of tiny herbs, vegetables and legumes. They include many of the same leafy greens as those used for salad mixes but are cut at a smaller stage.

They are commonly grown in seedling trays and differ from sprouts in that they are grown in sunlight and are usually harvested with scissors when there are two or more true leaves.

Health Benefits of Microgreens

While sprouts are well known for their health benefits, they are not as famous for their flavour. Microgreens are both healthy and a taste sensation. They taste like fully grown vegetables and are packed full of flavour and importantly nutrition. Microgreens have a greater concentration of vitamins and minerals than their fully grown counterpart.

They feature powerful vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, with 100% bioavailability and healing benefits on both physical and energetic levels. They are also a rich source of a phytochemical called sulforaphane. This is a nutrient found in other cruciferous veggies like cabbage and cauliflower.

Over time free radicals build-up and can even lead to serious health conditions such as cancer, cardiac disease, autoimmune disease and hypertension. An excess of free radicals can also lead to a range of inflammatory conditions that can hinder your fitness efforts considerably.

Any immune system needs a good source of nutrients and microgreens can provide this as they are 40% higher in nutrients than the mature plant. They are cleaner, stronger and more flavourful than their traditional counterparts.

Studies are showing the value of sulforaphane in preventing and treating chronic diseases, including several types of cancer. Helping to fight inflammation, fight cancer cells, and boosting your immune system, sulforaphane can also give your digestive health a boost.

By regularly consuming a healthy amount of food high in antioxidants, such as adding a variety of microgreens to your meals, you can negate the effects of free radicals and give your fitness efforts a healthy boost.

Microgreens We Grow

Our microgreens are grown right here in Alice River using organic growing methods. We use non-GMO seeds, filtered water and organic hemp mats. We are committed to being low waste, sustainable and delicious. We provide only the freshest, most high quality microgreens to our local community.

While all microgreens are good for you, researchers looking at 25 different varieties found that there are four types of microgreens in particular that have very high levels of carotenoids, along with vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K.
