 FAQs

  • Microgreens are young vegetable greens harvested just after the first leaves (cotyledons) have developed, usually within 7–21 days after germination. They are smaller than baby greens but larger than sprouts.

  • Microgreens are packed with nutrients and offer several health benefits, making them a great addition to any diet. Some key advantages:

    1. Nutrient-Dense Superfood

    Microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, often containing higher nutrient levels than their mature counterparts. Depending on the variety, they can be excellent sources of:

    • Vitamin C (boosts immunity)

    • Vitamin K (supports bone health and blood clotting)

    • Vitamin A (good for vision and skin health)

    • Folate (important for cell growth and DNA formation)

    2. High in Antioxidants

    Microgreens contain powerful antioxidants that help fight oxidative stress, reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

    3. Supports Heart Health

    • Some microgreens, like red cabbage and broccoli, have been shown to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and improve good cholesterol (HDL).

    • They contain polyphenols, which may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

    4. May Help Regulate Blood Sugar

    • Fenugreek and broccoli microgreens have been linked to better blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity.

    • They have compounds that may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

    5. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

    Many microgreens, such as mustard, arugula, and radish, have natural anti-inflammatory compounds that may help with joint pain, digestion, and overall immune function.

    6. Supports Gut Health

    • Microgreens contain dietary fiber, which promotes a healthy gut microbiome.

    • Some varieties, like pea shoots and sunflower microgreens, are great for digestion.

    7. Easy to Add to Any Diet

    • They are low in calories but high in flavor and nutrients, making them great for weight management.

    • Perfect for adding to salads, sandwiches, smoothies, soups, and more.

    8. May Help Reduce Cancer Risk

    Certain microgreens, like broccoli and kale, contain sulforaphane, a compound known for its potential cancer-fighting properties.

  • Microgreens come in a variety of flavors, depending on the type. Some are mild and slightly sweet, while others are peppery, nutty, or even spicy. It all depends on what you get!
