How to Reap the Health Benefits of Microgreens
To reap the health benefits of microgreens, eat them immediately after harvest. Microgreens, like most other superfoods that are consumed fresh, begin to lose their nutritional value rapidly after harvest.
Another way to boost the nutritional value of recipes made with microgreens is to use extra- virgin olive oil or another healthy oil. The presence of oil helps improve the bioavailability of the fat-soluble nutrients in microgreens (carotenoids, vitamin E, and vitamin K).

Healthy Living is Not a Diet
Nutrition is the science that interprets the nutrients and other substances in microgreens in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health, and disease. It includes ingestion, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion. – Wikipedia
Nutrients, on the other hand, are compounds in microgreens that are essential to life and health.
There are 49 known essential nutrients for sustaining human life. Within the past 20 years, we have come to also consider dietary fiber as an essential nutrient.
Nutrients provide us with energy, the building blocks for repair and growth, and the elements necessary to control biochemical processes in our bodies.
Here are the six major nutrient groups. Water is your most important, followed by:
-
Macronutrients

Carbohydrates (CHO)
