* What are microgreens.
Microgreens are young shoots of vegetables or root crops at the stage when their first leaves are just beginning to emerge.
Microgreens are not new crops, but the familiar radishes, broccoli, daikon, onions, mustard, etc. Only in this case they are eaten very young: 5-12 days after sowing, depending on the type of plant.
Microgreens should not be confused with sprouts. Sprouts are seeds with barely hatched roots, in which growth hormones have not yet been synthesized.
The main qualities of microgreens are a high concentration of vitamins and minerals, which is on average 5-6 times higher than that of "adult" plants. Scientists have proven that, for example, in microcabbage, at the time of active growth, the content of vitamin E is 40 times higher than in a mature vegetable. Microgreens provide the body with many vitamins, for example, C, E, K, B, as well as vegetable protein, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iodine, iron, antioxidants that suppress the development of pathogenic microflora. Digestion, thanks to the use of young sprouts, is also normalized.
The fact is that the body very easily absorbs microgreens, and to get the maximum benefit per day, it is enough to eat about 30 grams of green shoots. Such a small portion contains a sufficient amount of vitamins and microelements, which is necessary for normal well-being.
