About Microgreens

Microgreens are young, nutrient-rich greens harvested just a few weeks after germination. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they contain higher concentrations of nutrients than their mature counterparts. Common varieties include arugula, radish, sunflower, and basil, often used as garnish or salad ingredients in cuisines worldwide. Originating from agricultural innovations, microgreens gained popularity for their crisp texture, vibrant flavors, and aesthetic appeal. They're particularly high in vitamins A, C, and E, along with potassium, iron, and beneficial plant compounds. Their small size makes them versatile for enhancing dishes like soups, sandwiches, and even smoothies. While healthy overall, rinsing prior to use is essential to ensure they’re free from contaminants or pathogens. Rich in nutrients and incredibly flavorful, microgreens can be a valuable addition to balanced diets, supporting digestion and immune health while adding a fresh burst of color and taste to meals.
