Microgreens and Health Benefits

​

They can be used as a dietary supplement and might provide a number of advantages.

​​

​

Rich in nutrients​

​

Many products made from fresh plants offer fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

 

These nutrients may be useful for: 

  • avoiding various illnesses

  • managing weight

  • enhancing physical and mental well-being

​

Similar to mature greens, microgreens frequently have higher concentrations of these nutrients. As a result, they might also lower the risk of the following illnesses:

  • Alzheimer's disease: Meals high in polyphenols, such as foods high in antioxidants, may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

  • Certain cancers: Consuming fruits and vegetables strong in antioxidants and polyphenols may help prevent several types of cancer. Microgreens high in polyphenols might produce effects that are comparable.

  • Diabetes: A nutritious diet may lessen the kind of stress that interferes with cells' ability to effectively absorb sugar. In lab experiments, fenugreek microgreens were discovered to have a 25–44% increased ability to absorb sugar into cells.

  • Cardiovascular Disease: Polyphenols, a class of antioxidants linked to a lower risk of heart disease, are abundant in microgreens. Microgreens may lower triglyceride and "bad" LDL cholesterol levels, according to animal research.
