Microgreens - A world of Flavor & Health Benefits

Microgreens are the young sprouts of edible vegetable, herb, and grass plants that are harvested when they are under three inches tall - usually within 5-8 days of planting, and are high in nutrients and have many potential health benefits.

Some of the many potential health benefits of including microgreens in your diet are:  (1) some microgreens contain compounds that may help fight cancer; (2) may help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease; (3) may help reduce inflammation; (4) may help regulate blood sugar; (5) may help improve thinking and reasoning; (6) may help protect vision; and (7) may help reduce the risk of anemia.

You can consume microgreens by eating them raw, juiced, or blended.  You can add them to sandwiches, salads, smoothies, juices, and more.  You can use them as a garnish on pizzas, soups, omelets, curries, and other warm dishes.  (NOTE:  Avoid cooking them as they lose their nutritional values quickly when heated.
