Micro Green

Micro Greens are the young shoots of vegetables, herbs, and edible plants which are picked between 7 to 14 days after planting, at the time when the first true leaves have developed. They are neither sprouts nor baby greens but occupy a unique niche at a certain point in their development when nutrient, flavor, and pigment levels are highest.

What is truly exceptional about Micro Greens is how much they pack in relative to their small size. Numerous studies have confirmed that the level of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants contained in Micro Greens is higher than the levels found in the same plants when fully grown. A tiny bit of radish Micro Greens would yield far greater quantities of Vitamin C and anthocyanins than a radish fully developed. Even a few Micro Greens from sunflowers would give you a bigger dose of Vitamin E and folate than the same fully grown plant. There is no marketing myth involved here but simple facts about plant physiology. Young plants invest all their resources in developing those first few leaves.

It is at this time that Micro Greens from the NUVA are picked, cleaned, and delivered, thus ensuring that this point of optimal nutritional value is reached by the vegetables. In addition, they are offered in many varieties, each having unique coloration, flavor, and nutrition, and for this reason, they constitute one of the most fascinating fresh produce items to include into your diet.
