Just a few inches tall, Microgreens are packed full of Vitamins (A, B, C D, E & K) and important minerals like, calcium, Chlorophyll, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorous, Potassium, Niacin & Zinc. Microgreens are also high in levels of essential amino acids, antioxidants and proteins.
A comprehensive study carried out by the United States Department of Agriculture and published by the Journal of Agriculture & Food Chemistry in 2012 found that microgreens had 4 to 60 times the nutritional content of the adult plants.
Microgreens punch well above their weight in terms of flavour & are great in salads, pestos, dips & not to forget cocktails!
A Microgreen has a single central stem which has been cut just above the soil line during harvesting. It has two fully developed cotyledon leaves and sometimes one pair of small, partially developed true leaves.
