Microgreens

Microgreens are immature greens made from vegetable and herb seeds. They are typically 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) in length. They have been used as a garnish or decoration since the 1980s, but they have many other applications. According to one study, microgreens contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts. Vitamins C, E, and K are examples of these nutrients. Microgreens can be grown all year in the comfort of your own home, making them readily available.

Microgreens are not only full of beneficial nutrients but are also low in calories, which is the main reason many people tend to eat them as snacks. The fiber found in sprouted grains can also induce satiety, making them feel full and limiting the release of ghrelin, an important hunger hormone. Sprouted chickpeas, especially fenugreek seeds are good options for your diet-friendly weight loss.

Furthermore, some microgreens contain beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, which lower harmful levels of bad cholesterol in your body, which are harmful to your health. If present on a regular basis, the anti-inflammatory properties help reduce oxidative stress and the risk of developing cardiovascular complications.
