Six Amazing Reasons to Add an Organic Microgreens Powder to Your Routine

The potential health benefits of soil grown, USDA organic microgreens are impressive, considering their tiny size, and have added benefits when blended together. They contain up to 40 times the levels of nutrients, by weight, compared to their adult counterparts (cabbage, broccoli, radish).

1. Nutrient Dense Veggies!

Microgreens are a phase in a plant's life when they're about 14 days old and packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Cruciferous microgreens, like the Broccoli, Red Cabbage, and Radish in BeMicro's Microgreens Powder are sought after because they produce a unique antioxidant called Sulforaphane that is especially good at naturally detoxifying the body.  

 

2. Broccoli Microgreens

Helping with detox and defense, Broccoli Microgreens are not only rich in iron and Vitamin C but also a fantastic source of fiber.

They help turn on a powerful system in our bodies called the Nrf2 pathway that keeps our cells safe from damage.

I have been using BeMicro microgreens for two years and I'm not exaggerating when I say they come everywhere with me - restaurants, vacations, picnics... Eating nutrient-dense meals is important to me and it is great to know I'm getting that extra pinch of nutrition every day. Even better with this mix! I'll be back for more!

3. Red Cabbage Microgreens

Good for balance and restoration, Red Cabbage Microgreens are high in Vitamin A and Potassium and contain higher levels of antioxidants compared to other varieties.

Their strong activation of the Nrf2 pathway can aid in reducing the risk of diseases and support eye health, while their high Vitamin C content can help boost immune function.

4. Radish Microgreens

Used for energy and vitality (and a touch of spice), Radish Microgreens are a powerhouse of nutrients, including Vitamins A and C, and are rich in antioxidants and minerals like Calcium and Magnesium.

They, too, contribute to the Nrf2 pathway activation, supporting the body's detoxification processes and offering benefits like improved respiratory health and digestion.

Our family has been a BeMicro fan for several years, but we just received the new Microgreens Powder and it was fabulous!! It’s a blend of cabbage, broccoli and 3 kinds of radishes. It gives your meal not only a nutritional boost, but it contains loads of minerals and antioxidants. We love to put them on eggs, salads, sandwiches, soups and potatoes. Love the new rebranding labels and looking forward to trying the separate tins of radish and cabbage microgreens too…so yummy!

5. Kid Friendly

All three of these microgreens are mild in flavor and rich in nutrients, making them ideal to sneak into any meal or drink, even for picky eaters.

They're good on everything from pasta and eggs, to smoothies and juice!

 

6. Long Shelf Life

Freeze-dried microgreens have a shelf life of over a year, compared to fresh microgreens, which last about a week in your fridge.

This long shelf life allows you to enjoy their nutritional benefits for longer periods without worrying about spoilage.

My favorite addition to any meal! Perfect for adding nutrients while traveling or even at home! Couldn’t recommend this product enough

What exactly does "freeze-dried microgreens" mean?

Microgreens refer to young vegetables, roughly 14 days old, which are a tad older than typical sprouts. It's during this growth phase that they're richest in essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. By freeze-drying them, we effectively extract the water while preserving this rich nutrient profile. Learn more from our blog on freeze-drying!

Does the freeze-drying process diminish the nutritional value of the fresh greens?

Not at all! Scientific consensus indicates that only a negligible amount of nutrients are lost through freeze-drying.

In our freeze-drying procedure, we strictly avoid any additives or preservatives. This guarantees a product with prolonged shelf life that retains its nutritional value and has a flavor reminiscent of fresh microgreens.

What's the shelf life of Microgreens Powder?

Once opened, our product remains fresh for up to a year. However, given its benefits and taste, you're likely to use it up well before then!
