Alfalfa Microgreens

Microgreens are mini versions of plants, vegetables, and even herbs you are probably aware of. You may be wondering why anyone would want to grow a miniature version of a plant, and if it will fill your stomach and plate the same way.

The fact is that microgreens are faster to grow, more nutritious, and can be cultivated indoors or outdoors all year round. It is the ultimate food if you wish to be self-sufficient.

Microgreens are probably not the first plant that comes to mind when you think of growing in this manner. However, it is a great choice.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ALFALFA MICROGREENS
Most plants are more nutritious when grown in microform since the nutrients are more concentrated and ready to assist plant growth. Mature plants have fewer needs for these nutrients, and so are not as nutrient-rich when consumed. The following are some important health benefits that the alfalfa microgreens can offer you:

Reducing signs of aging
Age tends to lead to sagging and wrinkled skin. This factor is something that many people are concerned about, and they spend thousands every day on an array of treatment options.

However, all you need are cost-effective alfalfa microgreens. These plants help your body to generate enzymes and regulate your metabolism. In short, they can help to boost cell health and supersede the enzymes that lead to wrinkles and aging skin!

Preventing illnesses
There is a broad range of age-related illnesses that can severely affect your quality of life. Alfalfa microgreens have become well-known as an outstanding option to lower cholesterol in your body, helping to reduce the risk of several types of cancer, and even helping to inhibit cardiovascular disease.

Skincare essentials
These microgreens have plenty of vitamins, K, C, and A, all of which are essential to good skin. It can help your skin to glow.

Blood Glucose Levels
These young microgreens can help to regulate your blood sugar quantities, decreasing the likelihood of attracting diabetes, and even helping to prevent weight gain.

Reduced Risk of Osteoporosis
Brittle bones are a challenging issue to balance because you are likely to break them even if you fall. That’s why it is so vital to do all you can to prevent this from being an issue. Alfalfa microgreens are rich in minerals, including calcium, zinc, and magnesium, that can help to prevent the onset of osteoporosis.

What Are the Health Benefits of Microgreens?

Microgreens have become increasingly popular in the past handful of years, and a great deal of ongoing research seeks to understand all the health benefits these tiny plants offer.

Early 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 a healthy blood pressure, and microgreens are high in both of these important elements as well as other vitamins and minerals.

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.

What we can offer!

Every week fresh harvest!

Great quality food!

Grow and packed with love!

We might think of them as garnish but are microgreens actually the key to closing nutrient deficiencies? A new study led by Francesco Di Gioia, assistant professor of vegetable crop science at Penn State University, is redefining how we perceive the nutritional value of microgreens.

Published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Plant Science, the study evaluated 17 different types of microgreens from seven botanical families and looked into their mineral and nutrient content in depth.

The research team grew these young plants under controlled environmental conditions and analyzed them for yield performance, nitrate content, and mineral profiles.

The purpose? To see if these tiny greens were a viable source of nutrition in case of catastrophic events such as asteroid strikes, supervolcanoes, and nuclear war. The results, though, can help individuals and healthcare practitioners build more balanced diets in everyday scenarios.

The right micronutrients and macronutrients for you
As nutritional deficiencies continue to plague modern diets, the importance of a well-balanced intake of micronutrients and macronutrients cannot be overstated. Microgreens, it appears, could be a natural solution to this issue.

A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) separated the 17 microgreens into distinct groups based on their mineral composition. For example, scallion was closely related to dry matter concentration, magnesium, nitrogen, and manganese, whereas sunflower had strong associations with zinc, copper, phosphorus, and iron. Various Brassicaceae species shared associations with sodium and sulfur.

Noah Praamsma, RDN, the Nutrition Education Coordinator for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)—which was not involved in the study—explained that microgreens are indeed nutritional powerhouses.

“Microgreens are excellent sources of many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help the human body function well,” Praamsma tells VegNews.
Among the significant findings, the study revealed that microgreens could meet more than 15 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for several essential minerals. These minerals included both macronutrients and micronutrients, categorizing nitrogen and potassium as primary macronutrients, which constituted 38.4 percent and 33.8 percent of the total macroelement concentration, respectively.

Eight species from the study exhibited high concentrations of potassium, making them suitable as dietary sources for this essential mineral.

For example, species such as scallion and sunflower could serve as key microgreens for nutrient diversity in such cases, while high-yield species like radish and broccoli could provide the necessary volume for sustaining a population.

“Microgreens would definitely be an asset after a natural disaster, and I would be thrilled to find a bed of microgreens in the wake of an asteroid strike,” Praamsma says. “It would mean that edible, nutritious plants are still growing, and that there will be nutrient-dense food to feed us while we deal with the damage from the impact.”
While consuming these microgreens is a great idea, Praamsma says that eating their mature counterparts is just as beneficial in building a well-balanced, plant-based diet that should focus heavily on vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fruits at most meals, and daily B12 supplements.

“Any type or age of green leafy vegetables will contain lots of nutrients, whether that’s mature kale, baby spinach, broccoli microgreens, or alfalfa sprouts,” he says. “The important thing is that you’re eating them.”
