Microgreens produce big health effects for Teri Watts

Microgreens are rich in nutrients and can help prevent a wide range of disease, manage weight and boost well being

Grow North Microgreens began in November last year not as a business, but as a means to improve owner Teri Watts’ health.

Watts developed autoimmune encephalitis in her mid 50s. Autoimmune encephalitis refers to a group of conditions that occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, leading to inflammation of the brain.

Symptoms of this rare condition include seizures and cognitive impairment.

Why it Might be Time to Downsize Your Vegetables

Microgreens prove that great things can come in small packages.

When spinning your wheels in the produce department of supermarkets small and large you may have noticed that there is a trend towards downsizing vegetables. No, we don’t mean there are fewer on display but that immature veggies known as microgreens are demanding more shelf space. And rock star chefs just love pulling out the tweezers to garnish their dishes with the vegetable confetti. The itty-bitty leaves also seem to be popping up at farmers’ markets at a hasty pace. So why all the hype? Microgreens might be small in stature but they are big on flavor, nutrition, and visual appeal. Here’s everything you need to know about the dainty veggies.

Microgreens demand will stay hot for 2021

The pandemic and consumers’ renewed interest in all things health and wellness will keep microgreens in the spotlight over the next 12 months.

I heard a rumor that chefs have gotten a bit tired of microgreens and are dialing back on their orders from growers. But that is not what my chef friends here in Dallas, Texas, are telling me.

Additionally, I certainly do not see interest in microgreens declining with home gardeners. As far as they are all concerned, microgreens are in — way in.

The massive surge in pandemic gardening, in fact, has brought microgreens back front and center in the minds of home growers. Every day I see another article pop up about microgreens from a bevy of health and wellness websites to gardening blogs and social media channels.

Eating Pea Shoots Can Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease, Fight Inflammation, and Tame Allergies

The Science of Pea Shoots and Other Microgreens

According to a study published in The FASEB Journal, consumption of microgreens may lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing the levels of bad fats (such as triglycerides and LDL cholesterol) in your blood.

Investigators used mice to demonstrate the link. Each mouse in the study was fed either: a low-fat diet, a high-fat diet, a low-fat diet with microgreens, or a high-fat diet with microgreens. Two additional groups of animals were fed low or high-fat foods with mature greens.

The role of emerging micro-scale vegetables in human diet and health benefits-an updated review based on microgreens

Abstract

Increasing public concern about health has prompted humans to find new sources of food. Microgreens are young and immature plants that have been recently introduced as a new category of vegetables, adapting their production at the micro-scale.

In this paper, the chemical compositions including micro-nutrients and some typical phytochemicals of microgreens are summarized.

Their edible safety and potential health benefits are also reviewed. Microgreens play an increasingly vital role in health-promoting diets. They are considered good sources of nutritional and bioactive compounds, and show potential in the prevention of malnutrition and chronic diseases.

Some strategies in the pre- or post-harvest stages of microgreens can be further applied to obtain better nutritional, functional, and sensorial quality with freshness and extended shelf life.

This review provides valuable nutrient data and health information for microgreens, laying a theoretical foundation for people to consume microgreens more wisely, and providing great value for the development of functional products with microgreens.
