Monday Microgreen Myth

"Microgreens Aren't Nutritious Enough to Be Worth It"

This myth suggests microgreens are not nutritionally valuable, given their small size. Studies show that microgreens can contain 4 to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts, depending on the variety. For example, red cabbage microgreens have been shown to have significantly higher levels of vitamin C and beta-carotene compared to mature cabbage.

Nutritional Benefits of Microgreens
Microgreens are nutrient-dense and support overall health, with potential benefits for managing diabetes, preventing cancer, and promoting heart health. Packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients, they help reduce inflammation and enhance wellness. These microgreens deliver essential vitamins—A, C, E, and B-complex—as well as protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Thanks to our sustainable indoor growing methods, we offer fresh, nutritious microgreens year-round.
