FULL INGREDIENTS
2. Amaranth
The overall taste profile of amaranth microgreens can be described as earthy and pleasant. It is used in a variety of dishes and packs a whopping 16% protein in addition to lysine, thiamine, niacin, calcium, and iron. It is also an excellent source of folate and Vitamins A and C.
4. Radish
Radish microgreens are another beginner-friendly variety that is a protein powerhouse! Boasting an impressive 30% protein content, the young plants also add colour, crunchy texture, and a delightfully spicy flavour to food. They are also a bitter food and help maintain healthy gut flora. We include three types of radish in each bowl.
5. Peas
Peas contain 17% protein, 7 times more vitamin C than blueberries and 8 times more folic acid than bean sprouts. In addition, pea shoots are incredibly rich in carotenes, which are powerful antioxidants that help protect cells in the body from damage. Beta-carotene, which gets converted into vitamin A in the body, is an all-important phytochemical in these plants that might in and of itself help reduce the risk or coronary herat disease and cardio vascular disease.
5. Mizuna
Although this one is a lot lower in protein, we thought it was worth adding due to is benefits in strengthening bones with its high Vit K content. Studies have found that mizuna also contains kaempferol, a plant compound that acts as an antioxidant and has been associated with a multitude of health benefits. Kaempferol has been shown to block the spread of cancer cells, protect healthy cells and reduce chronic inflammation.
5. Rocket
Very simular to Mizuna for its health benefits, however it was also believed to be a natural natural aphrodisiac food by the ancient Egyptians and Romans. That cant hurt can it.
