Why microgreens?
Small plants. Big potential.
Microgreens are young plants harvested early — at a stage where they’re biologically different from the mature plant that comes later.
They’re not just smaller versions of adult vegetables.
They behave differently, grow differently, and express different compounds.
What are microgreens?
Microgreens are the edible seedlings of vegetables and herbs, harvested shortly after germination when the first true leaves appear.
At this point, the plant is in a phase of rapid development — building roots, leaves, pigments, and protective systems all at once.
This matters.
Why microgreens are different
In the early stages of growth, plants prioritise defence, growth, and survival.
As a result, microgreens can:
- Contain much higher concentrations of certain vitamins and antioxidants
- Express different ratios of plant compounds compared to the mature plant
- Produce protective phytochemicals that decline or change as the plant grows
Research has shown that some microgreens contain up to 40 times more of specific nutrients than their mature counterparts, depending on the variety.
This includes compounds involved in:
- Antioxidant activity
- Immune signalling
- Cellular protection
They're not "better vegetables". They're a different stage of the same plant, with different nutritional behaviour.
Whole plants, whole context
Microgreens deliver these compounds as whole food, not isolated extracts.
That means nutrients are present alongside:
- Fibre
- Enzymes
- Co-factors
- Other interacting plant compounds
This context matters, because the body processes nutrients differently when they come from food rather than from isolated or fortified ingredients.
Where microgreens fit
Microgreens are an efficient way to:
- Increase plant diversity
- Increase nutrient density without increasing volume
- Add biologically active plants to everyday food
They can be eaten fresh or thoughtfully transformed — but their value comes from when they’re harvested, not how loudly they’re marketed.
Microgreens aren't a trend. They're a window into how plants actually work.
