Microgreens are small, nutrient-packed greens that pack a punch of flavor and nutrition. Whether you’re a home cook looking to add some variety to your dishes, or you’re a health-conscious eater looking for an inexpensive way to boost your diet, microgreens are definitely worth considering. Let’s take a look at what makes them so special.
Nutrition Powerhouse
Microgreens are packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C and Vitamin K. In fact, some studies have shown that they contain up to 40 times more vitamins and minerals than their mature counterparts! This means that just by adding a few microgreens to your dish, you can get an incredible nutritional boost without having to buy expensive supplements or fresh produce. Plus, many microgreen varieties are organically grown so you don’t have to worry about synthetic fertilizers or pesticides in your food.
A Variety of Flavors
Microgreens come in all sorts of flavors from sweet and tart to spicy and herby. They are perfect for adding a bit of zing to salads or soups, as well as for garnishing dishes like tacos or sandwiches. Plus, since they come in such small packages, it doesn’t take much effort (or money) to experiment with different varieties until you find the ones that best suit your taste buds.
Microgreens are quickly becoming one of the most popular additions to meals both at home and in restaurants due to their impressive nutrition profile and unique flavors. Check them out at Papa Joes Gourmet markets in Birmingham and Rochester, Plum Markets, Westborn Markets or Zerbos in Livonia or Commerce Township.
