It is especially worth reaching for an additional source of vitamins and minerals in winter and early spring. Microgreens are concentrated nutrients that have a positive effect on our health.

Grow health with microgreens!

Sprout healthy habits and include sprouts and microgreens in your diet. These small, inconspicuous plants provide the body with many vitamins and nutrients. Microgreens should be added to dishes not only for aesthetic and taste reasons but also for health reasons. Microgreens improve digestion and regulate blood sugar levels and even protect against cancer. It’s no secret that our health largely depends on a proper diet. If we do not eat properly, we do not provide vitamins and microelements, and consequently, we do not strengthen our immune system.
Focus on a variety of colorful vegetables and fruit, whole grains, groats, good-quality protein, healthy fats, e.g., from pumpkin seeds or avocados. Also, add to your meals a natural vitamin bomb, i.e., microgreens.
