Why We NEED Microgreens In Our Diet

 

We’ve all heard “Microgreens are a Superfood!”, but what does this mean to those of us who aren’t health nuts? What exactly is a Superfood and why do we need it? Won’t my multi-vitamin suffice?

Our bodies were created to obtain nutrition from eating whole foods found all over the earth. Whole foods provide us with complex health benefits that a multi-vitamin is just not able to. Man made vitamins are not alive and they are not food, therefore are unable to meet a human’s nutritional requirements. Results from a John Hopkins Medicine study states “there is no proof of benefit of taking multivitamins” and that “we would be better off spending our money on nutrient-packed whole foods”. Replacing your daily vitamin with Microgreens each month may be more beneficial than we ever thought. Giving our bodies what they were built to use for fuel and giving our wallets a break too!

 

When we understand the how and why of supporting our bodies through ingesting living whole foods like Microgreens, we can then make the choice to benefit from the phytochemicals they contain that reduce inflammation and prevent multiple diseases. We can then make the choice to benefit from the antioxidants they offer to reduce oxidative stress and promote healthy living and aging. We can then make the choice to benefit from whole food fiber to improve our digestion, support heart health and manage our blood sugar avoiding Type 2 Diabetes. The symbiotic relationship our bodies have with plants alone automatically set us up to experience superior absorption of nutrients, the way our bodies were meant to.

Microgreens are a whole food by nature and rank high as a Superfood due to their dense nutritional value. They contain up to 40X the amount of vitamins and minerals that you would receive from eating the same mature vegetable. We suggest adding one handful per meal to meet daily nutritional requirements. Nutrition comparison: One cup of a mature vegetable is equivalent to 2 tablespoons of Microgreens. This might help a picky eater you know to stay healthy!

The few benefits mentioned here are just the tip of the nutritional iceberg representing Microgreens.
