Here's what you need to know about using microgreens

Soups, Phö, or any noodle bowl or hot pot

How long do they last?

Microgreens should be purchased when freshly harvested.

As a local farm we give you this opportunity to have a product

that isn't transported from any distance or held in storage.

This assures that the nutrient levels have not been diminished, receiving the total benefit of the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals along with the bioactive compounds, polyphenols and sensory qualities like texture, flavor, aroma and color.

What are the health benefits?

Microgreens are considered to be superfoods and are very low in calories.

Scientific data has demonstrated that microgreens:

Lower risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, type two diabetes.
Lower cholesterol and improve digestion
Balance acid/alkalinity levels in your body
Improve skin and eye health
Improve metabolic activity
Protect from cellular damage
Protect from Alzheimer’s disease
Prevents Parkinson’s disease
Natural Detox
Regulate Glucose
Weight Maintenance
Treat depression, improve heart health, a proven cancer risk reduction.

The list goes on because of the exponentially greater levels of

vitamins, mineral, antioxidants and bioactive compounds in these conveniently sized plants.

Microgreens are even used in spa treatments like facials and body wraps.

What are Free Radicals

Free radicals are a byproduct of turning food into energy. Capable of damaging cells and altering DNA. Can cause bad cholesterol (LDL) to lodge in artery walls.

Excessive amounts cause oxidative stress brought on by a bad diet, alcohol and drug consumption, air pollution, radiation exposure from traveling, and exposure to pesticides and other chemicals.
