What Are Microgreens? A Fresh Take on Nutrition and Flavour
Share
At Beaver Greens, we grow premium microgreens, herbs and salads right here in the UK and deliver them direct to your door through our subscription service. But what exactly are microgreens, and why do you need to be saying Dam That's Fresh!
🌱 What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are young vegetable shoots, harvested just a week or two after germination, when their first true leaves begin to form and are packed with intense flavour, vibrant colour, and high levels of vitamins and antioxidants.
💪 The Health Benefits
Research shows that microgreens contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their fully grown counterparts. They’re especially rich in:
- Vitamins C, E and K
- Beta-carotene
- Antioxidants and polyphenols
These nutrients can help boost immunity, support heart health, and reduce inflammation – making microgreens a brilliant choice for a healthier lifestyle.
🍴 Easy Ways to Use Them
Microgreens are quick and easy to add to your daily meals:
- Toss into salads for added texture and nutrition.
- Sprinkle over soups, pastas, or stir-fries.
- Top toast, eggs, or even Sunday roasts for a fresh finishing touch.
- Blend into smoothies for a green health kick.
Each week, your Beaver Greens subscription includes a selection of freshly harvested varieties – all grown with care on our indoor vertical farm.
