Why Eat Microgreens
There are many reasons to eat Microgreens, flavour, garnishing or even availability but we think the main reason you should be considering eating Microgreens is because they are packed with Nutrients, full of Vitamins, Minerals and Antioxidants.
Early research into Microgreens indicates that they contain up to 40% more phytochemicals (beneficial nutrients and components) than their fully-grown counterparts. Though these little greens are small in size, they pack a mighty punch, containing extremely high levels of powerful vitamins, minerals, and health-supporting components.
One of the mightiest Microgreens is Broccoli. Broccoli contains high levels of compounds that once consumed convert to Sulforaphane. Sulforaphane has potent cancer preventative effects and is also widely being investigated for its benefits for cardiovascular health, diabetes, inflammatory conditions, anti-aging properties, autism, and more.
Consuming Broccoli as a Microgreen means you are able to maximise these health benefits without eating broccoli all day long. Let’s compare portion sizes!!!! Approximately 30grams of broccoli as a Microgreens contains the same nutritional value as 560grams of fully mature broccoli. Isn't that incredible!!
Let’s face it, we tend to live busy lifestyles with many people turning to supplements and over the counter options in an attempt to be healthier. Microgreens give you the opportunity to ensure sure you’re eating well and getting your essential doses of vitamins and nutrients without expensive over the counter supplements or vitamins or having to make time to eat more fruit and vegetables during the day.
This does not mean you should replace any fruit and vegetables already in your diet, rather add a small amount of Microgreens to your daily meals and enjoy the benefits.
