    Micro greens and Nutritional Fact

    Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) tall. They have an aromatic flavor and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colors and textures. They are baby plants, falling somewhere between a sprout and baby green.

    They shouldn’t be confused with sprouts, which do not have leaves. 

    Microgreens stems and leaves are considered edible. However, unlike baby greens, they are much smaller in size and sold before being harvested. This means that the plants can be bought whole and cut at home, keeping them alive until they are consumed.

     

    Microgreen pack a nutritional punch

     

    Their vibrancy and delicateness make for an obvious choice in visual appeal, giving dishes that necessary pop. But these pretty little things are also, though minuscule in size, concentrated in nutrients. Studies have shown that microgreens are loaded with nutrients, such as vitamins, C, E, K, lutein, and beta-carotene.
    Like its full-grown counterparts, the levels of these nutrients vary across the wide array of microgreens. Of course, mature vegetables could never be replaced, providing you with the necessary fiber that your body needs, but microgreens fill in all of the other gaps in your dietary needs.
