Why Microgreens Are the Future of Food
Microgreens are vegetable greens harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed. These tiny seedlings are not just small—they are **nutritional powerhouses**. Because they are harvested at the peak of their concentrated nutritional stage, studies have shown they can contain significantly higher levels of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals than their fully grown vegetable counterparts.
Often contain up to 40x the vitamins (like C, E, and K) and carotenoids of mature plants.
They deliver an intense, concentrated flavor of the mature plant, adding depth and zest to any dish.
Their vibrant colors and delicate textures instantly elevate plating, making every meal gourmet.
