A concentrated plant-based ingredient
Microgreens are young vegetable shoots harvested just after the development of the cotyledons and the first true leaves.
At this early stage of growth, the plant naturally concentrates a large portion of its micronutrients, phytochemical compounds, and antioxidants.
Microgreens are a superfood, a functional food that allows you to boost your nutritional intake in a simple and natural way.
Microgreens
Harvested at the hypocotyl stage with 1–2 true leaves. They begin to synthesize chlorophyll, carotenoids, polyphenols, and glucosinolates, increasing their density of bioactive compounds.
Sprouted seeds
Hydrated seeds consumed before developing true leaves. Good enzymatic activity, but still without complete chlorophyll and carotenoid synthesis.
Mature vegetables
Essential for their fiber and volume, but with a higher proportion of water and structure. Supplementing them with microgreens increases the overall nutritional density of the diet.
“Los microvegetales de col lombarda, en particular, han atraído la atención por su potencial para ayudar a proteger contra enfermedades crónicas... Los ratones con dietas que incluían microvegetales de col lombarda presentaron niveles más bajos de colesterol "malo" (LDL) que los ratones con dietas basadas en col lombarda madura.”
“Los microvegetales han surgido como una fuente prometedora de nutrientes esenciales y compuestos bioactivos. Nuestro estudio demuestra que su densidad nutricional y capacidad antioxidante superan significativamente a las de las hortalizas maduras, posicionándolos como alimentos funcionales superiores para la nutrición moderna.”
“Despite their small size, microgreens contain a nutrient density far superior to that of fully grown vegetables. Depending on the species, they can have between 4 and 40 times more vitamins or minerals than the same mature plant.”
“A pesar de su pequeño tamaño, concentran un gran valor nutricional, ya que a menudo contienen niveles de nutrientes más altos que las verduras más maduras. Esto los convierte en una buena incorporación a cualquier dieta. Son nutritivos e incluso pueden reducir el riesgo de padecer ciertas enfermedades.”
“Early research has indicated that microgreens contain up to 40% more phytochemicals (beneficial nutrients and components) than their full-grown counterparts.”
Our work with microgreens follows a simple logic:
Promoting lasting habits, based on whole plant-based ingredients, cultivated and processed with rigor.
No shortcuts. No miracle promises.
Just microgreens, selected for what they truly are.
