What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the seedlings of edible vegetables, herbs and flowers. They are harvested when the first leaves form, usually at about 10 days (depending on variety).
Because microgreens are harvested at the seedling stage, the plant’s nutrients are extremely concentrated. Microgreens contain high levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and offer a wide range of health benefits. In fact, evidence shows that microgreens provide up to 40X more vitamins, minerals, and other health-promoting properties per bite when compared to their full-grown counterparts .

Raw vegetables have the highest levels of sulforaphane. One study found that raw broccoli had ten times more sulforaphane than cooked broccoli. We highly recommend this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?
