Serving the Treasure Valley
At this point we are about a month into the back-to-school season. Unfortunately, this can be the time one or all of us in the house gets sick. A busier schedule and a longer to-do list can absolutely add more stress to our lives and lower our immune defenses. Oh, and we are now bacterially connected to every student at school. Let the fun begin!
As our team at Mad House Farms has discovered the health benefits of Microgreens, we have made a decision to include them as a staple addition to all meals in our home. We have mentioned the nutritional density of Microgreens before. They are packed with vitamins & minerals, naturally occurring antioxidants and are completely anti-inflammatory. They are up to 40 times more nutritious than a mature vegetable and fight chronic disease like a bad-ass!
Here are a few ways you can simply incorporate Microgreens in your diet to keep you and your family healthy this season:
- Smoothies – send your family off with a quick blended SUPERFOOD breakfast including a handful of Brassica Microgreens (per person). Simply add to your favorite smoothie recipe!
- Sandwiches – in place of lettuce spice up a sandwich with a small bunch of our spicy mix Comin’ In Hot.
- Salads – in addition to your favorite salad add a handful of your choice of sweet, spicy or savory Microgreens.
- Snacks – send a baggie full of a quick and healthy snack of Sunflower Microgreens.
- Saucey – hmmm, well this one isn’t for the kids. Muddle up some Cantaloupe Microgreens to add a sweet kick to your Mojito!
However you would like to incorporate Microgreens in your diet, you can’t go wrong. They are one of the numerous ways available to us to keep our bodies and minds healthy. Happy Back-To-School everyone!
Thanks again for reading!
