Benefits of microgreens
Not only are microgreens pretty garnishes, they also provide tons of health benefits. Among these benefits are up to 40 times more nutritional content than their adult counterparts. Like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and unique medicinal compounds. Vitamin K1 is higher

in amaranth, basil, and red cabbage microgreens than in their fully grown equivalents. Vitamin C concentration is 6 times higher in red cabbage microgreens than in adult red cabbage. In addition, lettuce microgreens showed higher concentrations of elements Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Selenium, and Molybdenum than their adult counterparts. Microgreens from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli also have a unique compound called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is a biologically active compound found in plants that can help manage viral load and glucose levels, protect your skin, improve brain function, and fight inflammation. It has also been shown to cause tumor cell death. Sulforaphane is a potent and bioavailable activator of Nrf2. Nrf2s are important because they make antioxidants, which help the body fight inflammation and cell damage. Activating the Nrf2 pathway can help reduce systemic inflammation or inflammation all over the body.

Seeds just started germinating on this one. Red garnet amaranth, salad mix and the peas are rather obvious! It’s so cool to see them change, especially the amaranth as it becomes more and more pink.

Yes your pets can benefit from micros as well!

From microgreenshub.info

“Yes, microgreens are fine for dogs and cats to eat, especially the younger, sensitive, and leafy varieties. Despite the fact that they, like us, are unable to digest plant portions, consuming microgreens can aid digestion and provide critical nutrients not found in meat. In addition, ingesting microgreens aids un the elimination of indigestible materials (bone, feathers, etc).

Many case studies have also indicated that cats and dogs that ate a balanced vegetarian diet were healthier than those who ate a meat-based diet, including those who exercised vigorously.”

Since microgreens were first introduced in restaurants, there has been a surge in demand for the tiny green vegetable seedlings and herbs.
