Health Facts & Benefits

Beetroot Microgreens are concentrated versions of the adult plant, containing significantly higher levels of vitamins and antioxidants.

• Heart Health: High in nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide to help relax blood vessels and support healthy blood pressure.
• Detoxification: Rich in betalains (the pigment that gives them their red color), which provide powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Immune Support: Packed with Vitamin A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium.
• Eye Health: Contains high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are vital for protecting your vision.

Culinary Tips: How to Use Them

Because of their intense color, these microgreens are a chef’s favourite for “plating.” Here’s how to use them at home:

• The Perfect Garnish: Scatter a handful over avocado toast, hummus, or creamy soups for a pop of color.
• Elevate Your Salads: Mix them with cheese, walnuts, and a balsamic glaze—the earthy flavor pairs perfectly with tangy and nutty ingredients.
• Smoothie Boost: Add a pinch to your morning smoothie for a nutrient kick without over-powering the taste of your fruit.
• Keep it Raw: To preserve their delicate nutrients and crisp texture, avoid cooking them. Always add them to your dish just before serving.

Storage Tip: To keep your Microgreens at peak freshness, store them in your refrigerator’s crisper drawer. Keep them dry and in an airtight container; only wash them immediately before you are ready to eat!
