About Us & Microgreen knowledge

Microcrops is a local small business in the Central FL Area committed to growing freshly harvested microgreens within 24 hours from harvest to your door! We understand the importance of healthy eating and the role that microgreens play in achieving a balanced diet. Microgreens are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients that can benefit your overall health. In this article, we will explore the various benefits of incorporating microgreens into your daily meals.

Nutrient Powerhouses

Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are harvested just a few weeks after germination. Despite their small size, these tiny greens are packed with a concentrated amount of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. In fact, studies have shown that microgreens can contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts.

These nutrient powerhouses are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and beta-carotene. They also provide essential minerals such as potassium, iron, and zinc. By incorporating microgreens into your meals, you can easily boost your nutrient intake and support your overall well-being.

Health Benefits

The consumption of microgreens has been linked to numerous health benefits. Their high antioxidant content helps protect your cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.

Microgreens are also known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the body and promote better overall health. Additionally, their high fiber content can aid in digestion and support a healthy gut.

Delicious and Versatile

One of the great things about microgreens is their versatility in the kitchen. These tiny greens come in a variety of flavors, ranging from mild and nutty to spicy and tangy. Whether you're adding them to salads, sandwiches, soups, or even smoothies, microgreens can add a burst of freshness and flavor to any dish.

At our local business, we specialize in growing a variety of microgreens, including Broccoli, Triton Purple Radish, Sunflower & more. These most loved microgreens not only offer unique and vibrant flavors but also provide a healthy twist to your favorite meals.

By choosing to incorporate microgreens into your diet, you are not only benefiting your own health but also supporting local and sustainable agriculture. Our commitment to best practices ensures that our microgreens are grown with care and respect for the environment, allowing you to enjoy fresh and nutrient-packed greens while minimizing your carbon footprint.
