Microgreens are the a nutreint dense way to add vitamins to your body and meals. I stopped taking vitamins a long time ago. Through modern research, various studies, and many doctors , studies and medical advisors have stated that: it is better to intake vitamins through the nutritional foods we consume.

Bioavailability is the absorption of a specific nutrient, and how much the body can absorb of that specific nutrient. A nutrient can have a different bioavailability from factors such as it’s source (natural or synthetic, if plant, dried, cooked, raw etc.) form, the person’s body, age, and how that nutrient can react specifically with that person’s biological makeup. The older we get the harder it is for our body to absorb nutrients, so it is important to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle at any age.

Microgreens are better than their mature counterpart in reference to vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phenolic compounds, while also containing a dense and digestible nutrient profile. They more bioavailable and also create a better source of nutrition for vegetarians and vegans. Because of their small size, it is easier for the human body to digest and create enzymatic reactions to break down the food and make bioavailable nutrients.

Microgreens are known to contain 40% more phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals than their adult counterparts. The reason why Microgreens contain a “concentrated” form of vitamins and minerals are because they are still condensed within the plant. The small stunted plant has not gone through numerous cycles of photosynthesis, oxidation from heat, and root growth which cycles out nutrients over time. The condensed, unbroken, and pure amount of amino acid chains within the Microgreens also create protein synthesis within the body, and can act as a form of protein for many vegans and vegetarians. This is especially apparent in Arugula Microgreens, Broccoli Microgreens, any type of Bean or Pea Microgreens, and the mighty Buckwheat Microgreen.

Scientific studies have shown that eating nutrient dense vegetables, fruits, and other plants have shown to decrease heart disease, obeisity, and other health related issues like inflammation. According to the USDA, the leading cause of illness in the United States is due to poor nutrition and kills 600,000 people annually. Microgreens can be one of the easiest, cost effective, and nutrient dense produce you can implement into your diet. Because of this poor nutrition, Americans are spending thousands of dollars in medical expenses. Over 85% of health care spending is from diet related issues.
Microgreens are a functional food, which is known to prevent disease and promotes a healthy body. Once we learn how to heal from the inside, body, mind, and spirit, by implementing more nutrient dense foods into our diet is when we can heal and change our bodies for sustainable results.
