This is a test

Did you know that microgreens taste more intense than full-grown vegetables? 

You don’t have to take our word for it, but you could try it right now and put it to the test: Get a small bowl of cress from the supermarket or your favourite health food shop and sprinkle a handful of cut leaf stalks on your crusty bread, over your soup or your favourite pizza… bet you can taste the whimsical little baby greens clearly amongst all the ingredients?

The fact that the leafy greens tickle our taste buds to the utmost, however, is not their only advantage… because there are also the incredible amount of vitamins, the all-round availability, the simplicity and simplicity and soooo much more! But let’s take it one step at a time, because we can easily get carried away and overly enthusiastic about the potential of the little green button wonders 😉

Incredible amount of vitamins and nutrients

Microgreens contain up to 200x more vitamins and nutrients per gram than full-grown vegetables from the supermarket.

The germination process leads to an increase in the already abundant vital substances and nutrients, vitamins, enzymes, minerals and trace elements – no vegetable from the supermarket can compete with this!

Microgreens contain important minerals such as magnesium, calcium and iron. Secondary plant compounds and antioxidants are also abundant.

In addition, essential oils and bitter substances that are so important for us are formed during growth. These in turn stimulate digestion and blood circulation, purify the blood and keep viruses, bacteria and fungi at bay.

Here is another concrete numerical example: a Red Cabbage Microgreen has 260 times as much beta-carotene, 6 times as much vitamin C and 40 times as much vitamin E per gram as a fully grown red cabbage (source: Journal of Agricultural And Food Chemistry).

Broccoli Microgreens are characterised by a particularly high content of the antioxidant sulforaphane (a mustard oil glycoside). In microgreens, this content is 50 to 100 times higher than in fully grown broccoli vegetables (the more mature the broccoli, the lower its sulforaphane content).

In short: microgreens are the ultimate superfoods OR:

A microgreen (or let’s say a handful of leafy greens) a day keeps the doctor away!
