Wholesome Goodness
Baby & microgreens may be small, but these wholesome greens are rich in colour & flavour & pack a powerful nutritional punch, full of vitamins, antioxidants & minerals. The Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry, found that microgreens contain between 4 to 40 times more nutrients than those found in their mature veg. They are packed full of vitamins A, B (complex), C, D, E & K & minerals including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium & zinc. Why is this? Simply because these tiny veg are harvested when they are in their earliest growth phase, when at their best and simply bursting full of goodness.
