Benefits of Microgreens
Discover why these tiny greens pack such a powerful nutritional punch
Superfood in Miniature Form
Microgreens might be small, but they're mighty when it comes to nutrition. These young vegetable greens are harvested just 7-14 days after germination when they've developed their first true leaves.
Scientific research has found that microgreens contain up to 40 times more nutrients by weight than their fully-grown counterparts. This nutritional concentration happens because microgreens are harvested during a critical growth period when the plants have stored all the nutrients they need for their next growth phase.
When we consume them at this stage, we're essentially capturing the plant at its nutritional peak, providing our bodies with concentrated vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds that support overall health and wellbeing.

How to Include Microgreens in Your Diet
Adding microgreens to your daily meals is simple and can significantly boost your nutrient intake. Here are some easy ways to incorporate them:
Salads & Bowls
Add a handful of microgreens to your salads or grain bowls for an extra boost of flavor, texture, and nutrition. They pair particularly well with vinaigrettes and citrus dressings.
Sandwiches & Wraps
Use microgreens instead of lettuce in sandwiches and wraps. Their intense flavors and crisp texture add a gourmet touch to even the simplest lunch options.
