Our new recipe page is now live, brimming with quick, easy ideas for incorporating microgreens into your daily diet. These tiny greens are not only delicious but also nutrient powerhouses. They can take your meals to the next level, and we're especially excited to share a new lettuce wrap recipe that is bound to be a hit!

What Are Microgreens?

Microgreens are young, edible plants harvested just after the first true leaves appear. These vibrant greens come in various flavors and colors, including the spicy notes of radish and the sweetness of peas. Research shows that microgreens can contain up to 40 times more nutrients than mature plants. For instance, a study found that broccoli microgreens boast high levels of vitamins C, E, and K. Adding microgreens to your dishes can enhance both flavor and nutritional content with minimal effort.

Why Use Microgreens in Your Daily Diet?

Integrating microgreens into your daily meals is a straightforward way to boost health and flavor. You can easily add them to salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and soups. Not only do they give your food a fresher taste, but they also provide essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and iron.

Consider this: adding just one cup of microgreens to your diet can help increase your daily intake of necessary vitamins. They are incredibly versatile as well. Feel free to mix different varieties to create unique flavor combinations that suit your palate.
