Benefits of Microgreens

Nutrient Rich Microgreens grown and harvested in Columbia, Missouri.

“Microgreens can add heightened flavors, ​color and texture to your meals.”

Lori Schnelker

registered dietitian

“Vegetables are already high in vitamins, ​but the minerals and phytochemicals in ​microgreens offer even more nutritional ​value. As a bonus, many of the nutrients in ​microgreens act as antioxidants, with the ​power to prevent cell damage.”

Kayla Kopp, RD, LD

registered dietitian

The nutrients in microgreens are more ​concentrated than in their fully grown ​counterparts:

• A cup of red cabbage microgreens has ​three times more folate than mature red ​cabbage.
  
• Radish microgreens have double the ​amount of calcium and are higher in ​omega 3s than radishes.
  
• Compared to broccoli, broccoli ​microgreens have a higher content of the ​antioxidant sulforaphane, which helps ​lower fasting blood glucose levels and can ​protect against heart disease and cancer.
