What if I told you eating baby plants could help you live a long, healthier life? Microgreens are young versions of vegetables that are gathered within one to three weeks after being planted. There are over 60 kinds of microgreens, and some popular varieties include beets, broccoli, arugula, spinach, and peas. These tiny superfoods have a high water content and high nutritional value due to them being grown under the sun. In fact, research claims they contain about 4 to 40 times the nutrients of their mature counterparts. Additionally, eating microgreens comes with numerous health benefits. Some types can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. For example, red cabbage microgreens are high in dietary fiber and vitamin K, which lower the levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in your body and lower your risk for heart disease. Next, microgreens have the ability to support good gut health. Since they are high in fiber, they aid in constipation and other gastro-intestinal issues. They also serve as a prebiotic that allows the “good” bacteria in our body’s microbiome to thrive. Furthermore, ongoing research has shown that microgreens, like broccoli sprouts, have the compound sulforaphane, which aids in fighting cancer. Lastly, their nutrients act as antioxidants which help prevent cell damage. 

Further, microgreens are easy to grow at home, making them a fun activity for children. Your child can learn how to grow their own vegetables on a smaller scale. They are also perfect for picky eaters who have trouble eating their vegetables. The tender, delicious flavor of microgreens makes them very versatile when it comes to adding them to dishes. A few examples of ways you can eat microgreens include garnishing on top of soup, pasta, and various dips; tossing them into a salad or sandwich, blending them in a smoothie, and sprinkling them over grilled fish or meat. On your next trip to the grocery store, don’t forget to add microgreens to your cart!

Another way to add in extra greens into your diet is to try a powdered supplement form because they can add so many good nutrients in the form of superfoods, including, medicinal mushrooms like chaga and reishi and lions mane as well as probiotics and so much more.
