What are microgreens and why should I be eating them?
Microgreens are the seedlings of vegetables and herbs, harvested at 1-3 weeks, specifically greens that have been harvested after the cotyledon leaves have developed. These greens are high in trend because they are packed full of nutrients and studies are showing have many more health benefits than their mature fully-grown counterparts.

Microgreens Fight disease and keep your Gut happy.
Microgreens contain condensed quotas of nutritional vitamins, that when added to our diet works to balance the body and keep the gut healthy. Studies have shown Pea-shoots, Broccoli sprouts, Radish Sprouts and sunflower sprouts all contain high levels of antioxidants. One cup of pea shoots provides about 35% the daily value of vitamin C (7 times as much as blueberries) and 15% the daily value of vitamin A (4 times as much as tomatoes). Pea shoots have an outstanding nutrient to calorie ratio and offer a good amount of dietary fibre, which helps regulate the metabolism.
Microgreens help weight loss
Perhaps the most popular reason for eating Microgreens is for weight loss benefits. Radish sprouts are one of the best foods for people who are trying to lose weight. Like other sprouts, radish sprouts are very low in calories (43 calories per 100 grams), and they are packed with vitamin C. A recent study found that people with low blood concentrations of vitamin C burned 25 percent less fat during a 60-minute walking session on a treadmill than people with adequate levels of vitamin C. Among other things, your body uses vitamin C to make carnitine, a compound that encourages your body to turn fat into fuel, rather than to store it as body fat.

Carotenes help inhibit antioxidant activity and are commonly associated with increased cancer prevention.
