Microgreens Dieting
Why eat living microgreens?
There are a lot of fabulous reasons to eat living microgreens—one of the best being that they taste great. In fact, one of the first things people say after tasting these tiny versions of the mature plant is, “OMG! These are delicious!” No argument there. But living microgreens are not only great tasting but they are also great for your health. When you eat living microgreens you are ingesting one of the most nutritionally dense foods available. Living microgreens are packed with phytonutrients, carotenoids, vitamins A, B, C, D, E & K, lutein, beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, folate, fiber, niacin, manganese, iron, phosphorus, copper, zinc and more. In fact, as already mentioned, scientists at the University of Maryland and the U.S. Department of Agriculture discovered that living microgreens have up to 40% more nutrients than mature plants. These functional foods can aid in the prevention degenerative diseases. Additionally, their high nutrient content can aid in boosting your immune system, lowering your blood pressure, improving your digestion, strengthening your bones and teeth, improving your eyesight, and balancing your blood sugar. Keep in mind that we are talking about living microgreens not the ones that are previously harvested like you might find at your local grocer. Like any vegetable, once they’re cut they quickly lose their nutritional value.
Don't take my word for it!
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland discovered the Microgreens contained four to 40 times nutrients than their mature counterparts.
