Why Do Restaurants Buy MicroGreens?

Posted on July 22, 2021

A lot of people are wondering why restaurants buy micro greens and other vegetables from a local garden center. It is a wise decision because growing microgreens organically has many benefits. When you eat fresh vegetables grown organically, you know exactly what it was like growing them. No pesticides or anything else that might destroy the nutrients in the vegetables. Most of the time, the vegetables will be eating these nutrients naturally.

There are many benefits of eating micro greens and other vegetables grown organically. The first benefit is because they are eating these nutrients superfoods as opposed to something synthetic. When something synthetic is introduced into the soil, weeds can easily take over and take away what is there. This can then cause a loss of nutrients in the soil. With eating micro greens and other vegetables grown organically, you are getting everything you need for a complete nutritional value.

Another benefit of eating micro greens and other vegetables grown organically is that they are extremely tasty. Since they are grown naturally, they have a higher concentration of flavor. You will find that when you eat them, your palate will go with the vegetables rather than against them. This is beneficial to the entire digestive process. Because the crop is so tasty and full of nutrients, your body can then process and absorb more effectively.

Some popular microgreens grown are alfalfa sprouts, black eye peas, beets, broccoli, cress, dandelion leaves, fennel, ginger, lettuce, leaf lettuce, mocha, oatives, pea shoots, radishes, rutabaga, squash, summer squash, zucchini, acorn squash, cabbage, collard greens, turnips, kale, cabbage leaves, endive, jicama, and more. It’s easy to see how adding these foods to your diet would make a significant difference in your health. If you’re not growing them yourself, you may want to consider purchasing them from a local retailer where you can pick and choose exactly what you want.

When buying microgreens, look for one that contains a high percentage of antioxidants. Antioxidants are key ingredients in making a superfood healthy. In addition to their high antioxidant count, they also contain vitamins A, C, and E as well as beta carotene, iron, magnesium, selenium, zinc, and more. Microgreens are packed full of vitamins and minerals that help your body function at its highest level.

You will also find that some varieties pack even more nutrients and antioxidants than others. For example, spinach has a lot of beta carotene, but it is almost completely devoid of other important nutrients. Since beta carotene is a powerful cancer fighter, eating spinach would be a bad idea. However, lettuce is loaded down with vitamins A, C, and E and has no dangerous levels of either of those nutrients.

For added flavor, look for microgreens that are certified organic. Certified organic means that the plant grew up without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals. Most organic shoots and leaves are grown in soil that is rich in nutrients and not fertilized with chemicals. As you can see, eating radish sprouts is an excellent way to get the essential nutrients you need, but there are even tastier ways to get them.

Salads are a great way to build more of the essential nutrients and vitamins into your diet while keeping calories low. There are many different kinds of sprouts, including wheat sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, clover, dandelion, kelp, mustard greens, and more. Many of these plants are grown year-round in temperate climates, although some are only grown in the winter months. By growing your own microgreens, you can ensure that you are getting the most nutritious salad greens possible without the unhealthy levels of pesticides found in commercial seed packs.
