Why is it important to add microgreens to your daily meals?

Adding microgreens to your daily meals can offer several health benefits:

NUTRIENT DENSITY - Microgreens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They provide a concentrated source of essential nutrients, which can help meet your daily requirements.

LOW IN CALORIES - They are low in calories but high in nutrition, making them a great addition to your diet if you're looking to maintain or lose weight.

FLAVOR AND TEXTURE - Microgreens can add a burst of flavor and a pleasing crunch to your dishes, enhancing the overall taste and texture of your meals.

DIVERSE NUTRIENTS - Different types of microgreens offer various nutrients. By consuming a variety, you can ensure a wide range of health benefits.

DIGESTIBILITY - Microgreens are easy to digest and can be particularly beneficial for those with digestive issues.

AID IN PLANT-BASED DIETS - If you follow a plant-based diet, microgreens can help you meet your nutritional needs, including protein and certain vitamins.

DISEASE PREVENTION - The antioxidants and phytonutrients in microgreens may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.

Being consistent is key. Providing your body and mind with the nutrients it needs every day creates health and balance. For many, its a challenge getting raw fruits and vegetables in our daily diets. I am one of those many!
Micrgreens, make it so easy! And I now feel healthier than I've ever been!

Microgreen highlight!

Flaxseed microgreens!

They contain vitamins A, B, C, and E, calcium, iron, and antioxidants. You can almost tick off every nutrition in your health calendar!
Flax seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. Lignans are a form of phytoestrogen, which is a natural plant nutrient similar to estrogen, the female hormone. In fact, flaxseeds contain 75โ€“800 times more lignans than other plant foods.

As lignans have powerful antioxidant properties, some studies show that flaxseeds may protect against some forms of cancer, including breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer. The lignans play a role in blocking the spread of tumor cells.
Flax is also rich in omega-fatty acids (specifically plant-based ALAs, or alpha-linolenic acid), fiber, and contains all nine essential amino acids that your body needs on an everyday basis.

Got new seeds and are testing now.

Cilantro microgreens (ready for Oct 9th orders) Cilantro microgreens contain very high levels of the carotenoids lutein/ zeaxanthin, violaxanthin and beta carotene, which are fat soluble antioxidants important for organ function and protecting cellular structures from damage. Cilantro microgreens contain 3 times more beta carotene than the mature leaves.

Swiss chard microgreens (ready Oct 16th orders) They have very high amounts of vitamins A, C, and K and many essential mineral ingredients such as potassium, magnesium, or iron.

Fingers crossed I don't screw them up haha!!

Are you having a smoothie once a day? I'm definitely trying!

It's so easy adding "pure" vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with microgreens. While not adding more calories, sugars, and / or nasty preservatives or chemicals!

Todays:
Soaked chia and flax seeds (my fiber for the day) 2 tbs of each. Approx 4 gram protein

3 tbs H**p seeds ( 10 grams protein)

Collagen protein 3 scoops ( 13 grams protein)

Bunch of Melon microgreens, pea microgreens, and broccoli microgreens

1 cup of mixed frozen berries

= approx 30 grams of protein and a "full of pure" healthy goodness my body needs to function!

Hope you all have a wonderful wknd!

Microgreens vs. Mature vegetables.

Microgreens and their adult vegetable counterparts both offer various benefits, but they differ in some key aspects:

Nutrient Density:

Microgreens: They are incredibly nutrient-dense, most times containing higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to their mature counterparts.

Adult Vegetables: While adult vegetables still contain essential nutrients, they may have lower concentrations of certain vitamins and minerals compared to microgreens.

Flavor and Texture:

Microgreens: Microgreens have a delicate, often more intense flavor compared to mature vegetables. They can add a burst of fresh, vibrant taste to dishes.

Adult Vegetables: Adult vegetables have a milder taste and a variety of textures, which can be more suitable for different culinary applications.

Culinary Versatility:

Microgreens: These are often used as garnishes, in salads, or as toppings for various dishes to enhance their visual appeal and flavor. Which make them extremely versatile.
Adult Vegetables: Mature vegetables can be used in a wide range of dishes, from soups and stews to stir-fries.

Preparation:

Microgreens: They require little to no preparations. A quick rinse and ready to consume. They are best comsumed raw. Cooking microgreens will depleat their key nutrients, due to their delicate nature. Making them an ideal option for adding key vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to your daily meals.

Adult vegetables: They require washing, peeling, and / or slicing. Adult vegetables are also best cumsumed raw to get all the health benefits. Although it may cause digestive issues due to potent enzymes.

In summary, microgreens are prized for their exceptional nutrient density and intense flavors, making them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals and culinary enthusiasts. Both Microgreens and adult vegetables have their place in your kitchen, combining them both for optimal health!

Good morning to you all!
This is me going on day 4 of whatever bug I caught.
Nasty sick week for me...
I was in no state to plant microgreens...

And seriously contemplating taking a break from it for the summer. We have holidays that are booked (out of town) and coordinating planting along with harvesting is not falling into a time-line that works with those holidays...

Wish you all a wonderful summer! Hope you get to enjoy it!
