What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that fall somewhere between sprouts and baby leaf vegetables. They have an intense aromatic flavor and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colors and textures.
Microgreens vary in taste, which can range from neutral to spicy, slightly sour or even bitter, depending on the variety. Generally speaking, their flavor is considered strong and concentrated
Microgreens are rich in nutrients. They often contain larger amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than their more mature counterparts.
Microgreens deliver a concentrated dose of nutrients and beneficial plant compounds. As a result, they may reduce the risk of certain diseases.
A seed contains all the nutrients that the plant will need to grow to maturity. By consuming the seedling so soon after it has sprouted, you’re getting something way more nutrient dense—a much more concentrated source of vitamins and minerals—than by eating the plant’s mature counterpart, which has spread its nutrients out to dozens of leaves, flowers, and pieces of fruit.
In short, you’re getting all the nutrition you’d expect to find in a huge bowl of salad and raw veggies, but in just a few bites. Eating microgreens is a great way to get more vitamins without having to take a pill.
Microgreens may be eaten raw, juiced, or blended and can be incorporated into a variety of cold and warm dishes.
Microgreens can be saved in your fridge for about 10 to 12 days.
