Microgreens are of course delicious, beautifully vibrant in color and a complete source of nutrition for our bodies. But wait, there is one more benefit! A diet rich in Microgreens enhances our natural physical beauty. Read more below.

How Microgreens benefit the appearance of our hair:
• Strengthen, prevent breakage, support tissue growth and repair, provide oxygen to hair follicles.
• Include an abundance of antioxidants, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, that stop free radicals in our body causing oxidative stress (cellular damage that causes premature aging and development of chronic diseases).
• Dense amounts of vitamins and minerals boost our hair growth.
• Support production of sebum to moisturize our scalps.

How Microgreens benefit the appearance of our skin:
• Support production of collagen and elastin to maintain smoothness, firmness and tightness.
• Reduce inflammation that causes redness associated with eczema, psoriasis and acne.
• Brightens our skin for a natural ‘glow’.
• Hydrates our skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How Microgreens benefit the appearance of our nails:
• Offer plant-based proteins needed for keratin production to strengthen our nails.
• Promote healthy growth.
• Support the infrastructure of the nail and prevents breakage.

To achieve these results, you can easily add nutrient dense Microgreens to each of your meals throughout the day. In addition, you can incorporate Microgreen nutrients to your daily beauty routine with homemade all-natural hair and face masks. Shown below is a simple recipe that I found at Microgreens World. You’ve got to love Mother Nature!

Homemade Hair Masks Featuring Microgreens
Blend a cup of sunflower microgreens with some yogurt and honey. Put the mixture on your hair and let it sit for 20 minutes before washing. The vitamins and minerals in microgreens, combined with the moisturizing properties of yogurt and honey, can leave your hair feeling soft and rejuvenated.

Mad House Farms locally grows numerous varieties of Microgreens our community can choose from. We invite you to explore and find the right one for your beauty routine. Cheers!
