General Nutritional and Health benefits of Microgreens 

Asides from specific benefits from certain microgreens, as a whole they’ve got a number of nutritional and health benefits regardless of what variety you’re eating. 

Microgreens contain polyphenols 

Polyphenols are compounds that have antioxidant properties. They can stop free radicals from building up in your body, which are atoms or molecules that can cause disease and damage your cells. 

Diets high in polyphenols have been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and heart disease. 

Microgreens are high in nutrients 

Microgreens are more nutrient dense when compared to fully mature versions of the same vegetable or herb. 

They take all of the minerals and vitamins you’d find in a whole lettuce or cabbage and fit it into a smaller package.

• Most vegetables are high in a wide range of vitamins and minerals to begin with. Such as vitamin A, C, K, manganese, folate, and more. 

In their microgreens versions, they contain the same type of nutrients. 

But microgreens often contain between 4 and 40 times more nutrients by weight compared to fully grown vegetables. 

So just a few servings of microgreens per week can go a long way toward meeting your nutritional requirements.

Microgreens are easy and convenient 

You can grow microgreens at home even if you’ve never had a garden before. They can be grown even if you live in an apartment, giving you instant access to nutritious food whenever you need it. 

With a small upfront investment in some seeds, soil, and trays, you can have healthy microgreens to eat for months to come. 

They’re ready to eat in just one or two weeks, and you can grow them all year round. It doesn’t matter what the weather outside is like and you don’t need to worry about insects and pests. 

Growing your own food allows you to reduce your carbon footprint as well since it doesn’t need to travel hundreds of miles to reach you. 

Microgreens gives you a healthy salad sitting on your windowsill that you can harvest and eat it at any time. It doesn’t get much fresher than that! 

Microgreens improve your heart health 

Heart disease is the top cause of death in the US and is responsible for one in six deaths. 

But by modifying your diet, including adding more microgreens to it, you can reduce your chance of becoming a statistic.

Eating more vegetables in general is linked with reduced risk of heart disease and heart attack. And microgreens are no exception. 

Perhaps the best microgreens for heart health are red cabbage. 

Red cabbage microgreens have been shown to cut LDL cholesterol by 34%, triglycerides by 23%, and reduce weight gain by 17% in a study done with rats. 

Microgreens aren’t a miracle cure. But when you combine them with other changes like a healthy lifestyle including regular physical activity and a balanced diet, you’ll drastically improve your health. Especially later in life. 

Microgreens reduce chronic disease risk 

Inflammation is a major indicator of disease in the body. 

Microgreens and vegetable intake in general is shown to reduce inflammation markers as well as lower the risk of several types of cancer. 

They’re also linked to lower risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity. 

Microgreens allow you to eat the rainbow 

Eating a wide variety of different microgreens helps to ensure you’re getting the nutrition you need. 

Be sure to eat microgreens of different colors, because different colors of fruits and vegetables represent different healthy compounds called phytochemicals as well as other micronutrients. 

• Red vegetables contain lycopene, which is a powerful 

antioxidant. 

• Orange and yellow vegetables contain carotenoids like beta carotene and lutein, which the body converts into vitamin A. ● Blue and purple vegetables contain anthocyanin which can help protect cells from damage.
• Green vegetables contain a wide range of different 

phytochemicals including saponins, indoles, and carotenoids. ● Brown and white vegetables like garlic contain allicin which has antibacterial properties. 

So if eating the rainbow sounds like a good idea to you so you can add some extra nutrition to your diet, microgreens might be the perfect crop for you!
