Why microgreens?
Apart from being delicious and easy to add to any food, microgreens are nutritiously dense and packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. According to a study done by the University of Maryland, microgreens may contain as much as 4-40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts!
Here are just a few more benefits to adding microgreens to your diet:
Fulfilling Your Daily Nutritional Needs
Only about 10 percent of Americans eat the recommended portion of vegetables a day, making microgreens an incredible tool for fulfilling your daily nutrient needs
Prevent or Reduce Cancer Activity
Microgreens are an excellent source of glucosinolates, naturally occurring plant chemicals that contain sulfur. Research suggests that glucosinolate-rich foods have powerful anticancer activity. The cancer-protective compounds found in microgreens are most effective when consumed raw.
Improve Heart Health
Heart disease has become one of the biggest issues in contemporary society. For many, hectic work and life schedules equal frequent trips to fast food drive-throughs or shopping carts full of processed foods, most of which contain a lot of sodium, fat and other additives. Reducing the amount of fast and processed food you eat is a great start to reducing your risk of heart disease, and microgreens can add more vitamins and nutrients you need further distance yourself from these life-threatening conditions.
Full of Antioxidants
Antioxidants are compounds that help scavenge free radicals in the body. Free radicals are molecules that roam around your system, damaging cells and tissues over time.
Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals, reducing the risk of oxidative stress. Microgreens such as broccoli, red cabbage, and radish have been found to have high levels of antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for promoting a healthy immune system and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Versatility
Microgreens are not only healthy but also delicious!
They add a burst of flavor, texture, and vibrancy to any dish. From salads and sandwiches to smoothies and soups, microgreens can elevate the visual appeal and taste of your meals.
Digestive and Gut Health
Microgreens are rich in fiber, which is essential for good digestion. Fiber helps move food through the digestive system and keeps the gut healthy. They also contain prebiotics, which are a type of fiber that feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut. These bacteria play a vital role in maintaining a healthy gut and immune system. By consuming microgreens regularly, you can support the growth of these beneficial bacteria and improve your gut health.
