Why microgreens?

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 amounts .

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. amounts

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). source source source source source source

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). amounts

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!

This is how pure life tastes

Through exposure to sunlight, microgreens produce a surplus of chlorophyll. Chlorophyllwhich provides us with strength and vital energy and makes us feel awake and alive – this is exactly how we want to feel when we eat fresh food, isn’t it? dietary

The taste of the microgreens will definitely not be boring for your taste buds and you can take the full rollercoaster of palate pleasures – from strong-refreshing to sweet-mild or spicy-nutty to spicy-peppery. amounts

Very favorable compared to purchased organic vegetables

To keep it very practical: in the organic food shop you often pay between 4 and 5 € for 1 kg of broccoli or 1 kg of radish. In return, you get at most 2 pieces of broccoli or 2 white radishes. dietary

While we’re on the subject of numbers, let’s also play around a bit with microgreens seeds and microgreens varieties: dietary

From approx. 35 g radish seeds (approx. 0.80 €) you can grow 400 g radish microgreens and from approx. 250 g pea seeds (approx. 2.25 €) you can grow up to 350 g pea microgreens within your four walls. dietary

The only question left is: broccoli head vs. broccoli microgreens – who will win the competition in your kitchen? microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens microgreens

Versatile applicable

You’ve harvested your crunchy, nutrient-rich and plastic-free greens fresh – now what can you do with them? dietary

Microgreens are perfect as a component of delicious Buddha Bowls, as a topping on salads or soup, or simply as a garnish and additional vitamin supplier on the plate. dietary

Probably the most classic way to eat microgreens is to sprinkle them directly on (buttered) bread, amounts  but there are no limits to your creativity and you can also put them on fruit, juice them, add them to a smoothie or decorate a martini cocktail quite elegantly . dietary

You can also steam some microgreens as vegetables or in stir-fries, but the best thing to do is to eat them fresh and pure, so you can enjoy their original flavour and savour their full nutritional amounts potential.
