Microgreens
What are they all about?
Full of Goodness...
Microgreens are full of goodness! They are some of the most healthy superfoods in our natural world. Benefits include anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-aging properties, boosting brain function, strengthening your immune system, supporting heart health, preventing anemia, and helping your body fight off diseases.
Microgreens are simply the versions of these vegetables and herbs when they are in their tiny sprout form. Research has indicated that microgreens contain up to 40% more phytochemicals (beneficial nutrients and components) than their full-grown counterparts.
Though these little greens are small in stature, they contain extremely high levels of powerful vitamins, minerals, and health-supporting components.
Microgreens can lower blood pressure. Foods that are high in fiber and vitamin K can be helpful in maintaining healthy blood pressure, and microgreens are high in both of these important elements as well as other vitamins and minerals.
Microgreens might help fight cancer. Research is ongoing into this subject, but some early evidence suggests that sulforaphane — a compound found at especially high levels in broccoli sprouts — may help fight cancer.
Some microgreens can help lower cholesterol. A study found that red cabbage microgreens lower levels of LDL cholesterol, liver cholesterol, and inflammatory cytokines — all factors that can increase your risk for heart disease.
Microgreens can support gut health. Foods that are high in dietary fiber, like microgreens, can ease constipation or other gastrointestinal distress when eaten as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Research also indicates that dietary fiber serves as a " prebiotic," or material that provides an ideal environment for the "good" bacteria in the human microbiome to flourish.
