Why Microgreens?


When it comes to microgreens, they are in a class of their own. They are young greens rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are harvested before they reach maturity. The majority are harvested within 8-12 days.

Microgreens pack a serious nutritional punch, thanks to their high levels of nutrients and enzymes which makes them much easier for the body to absorb, allowing it to direct newfound energy towards cleansing, regulating, and building the immune system and creating healthy cells.

  • Their carbohydrates are easily assimilated as the starches turn to simple sugars.
  • Their fats turn to fatty acids which are soluble compounds easily digested.
  • Their proteins are easily converted into simple amino acids.
  • Minerals are chelated, which is a natural state where they are bonded to amino acids and easily assimilated by the body.
  • Vitamins are increased 3-12 times more.
  • They have delicate cell walls which allows them to easily release nourishment.
  • They contain phytochemicals which are plant compounds designed to protect against disease.
  • They contain highly active antioxidants that prevent DNA destruction and the effects of aging.
  • They also contain an increased amount of water, and fiber (up to 300%).

So, if you are looking for a nutritional boost, reach for your microgreens. Your body will thank you!
