🌿 What Exactly Are Microgreens?

Microgreens are the baby versions of your favorite vegetables and herbs — like broccoli, spinach, mustard, and radish. They’re harvested just 7 to 14 days after germination, right when their first tiny leaves (called cotyledons) appear.

Despite their small size, they pack a mighty punch in terms of nutrients, flavor, and health benefits.

Microgreens are ready for eating.

💪 Why Microgreens Are a Must-Have in Your Diet:

✅ Nutrient Powerhouse: Studies show microgreens can contain up to 40x more nutrients than mature greens — including vitamins A, C, E, and K, plus essential minerals and antioxidants.

✅ Stronger Immunity: The antioxidants in microgreens help fight off harmful free radicals, boosting your body’s natural defense system.

✅ Happy Heart: Their nutrient profile supports better cardiovascular health, helping keep your heart strong and steady.

✅ Better Digestion: Thanks to their fiber content, microgreens keep your gut happy and your digestion smooth.

✅ Weight-Friendly: Low in calories and high in fiber, they help keep you full longer — perfect for those watching their weight without sacrificing nutrition.
