Microgreens ๐ฑ, Have you heard about this beforeโ Is it a new term for youโ
Microgreens is one term that has taken the world by storm , and for a good reason. Microgreens are considered baby plants, falling somewhere between a sprout and baby green. Early research has indicated that microgreens contain up to 40% more phytochemicals (beneficial nutrients and components) than their full-grown counterparts. Though these little greens are small in stature, they contain extremely high levels of powerful vitamins, minerals, and health-supporting components.
Microgreens contain similar and often greater amounts of these nutrients than mature greens. As such, they may similarly reduce the risk of the following diseases:
โก๏ธ Heart disease: Microgreens are a rich source of polyphenols, a class of antioxidants linked to a lower risk of heart disease. Also, it minimizes triglyceride and โbadโ LDL cholesterol levels.
โก๏ธ Alzheimerโs disease: Microgreens containing high amounts of polyphenols may be linked to a lower risk of Alzheimerโs disease.
โก๏ธ Diabetes: Antioxidants may help reduce the type of stress that can prevent sugar from properly entering cells.
โก๏ธ Certain cancers: Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in polyphenols, may lower the risk of various types of cancer.
Theyโre also generally very nutritious and may even reduce your risk of certain diseases. SproutsDabba started delivering microgreens with sprouts salad.
