π± Why we grow microgreens (and why we think you should eat them).
A microgreen is just a baby version of a familiar plant β broccoli, radish, sunflower, pea β harvested 7β21 days after the seed sprouts. Tiny. But research keeps pointing to the same thing: in those first weeks, the plant is packing in vitamins, antioxidants and minerals at concentrations many times what you'll find in the mature vegetable.
A few of our favorite reasons to eat them:
β’ More nutrients per bite β up to 40Γ the vitamin C, E and K of full-grown greens, plus polyphenols and carotenoids that support heart and eye health.
β’ Living food β we cut yours within hours of going to market, so the enzymes are still doing their job when they reach your plate.
β’ Grown here β indoors, in Detroit, year-round. No pesticides, no air miles, no plastic clamshell from California.
β’ Easy to use β snip onto eggs, tacos, soup, salad, avocado toast, a grilled cheese. There's no wrong answer.
Grab a clamshell at Plum Markets, Westborn Markets, Better Health Markets, Zerbo's Markets, Market Square-Woodward, or order online at Market Wagon and get delivery straight to your door.
