Microgreens Mix - 58620

There has been so much focus in the past few years on nutrition and the value of vegetables and raw food. Microgreens have certainly earned their place way up at the top of the list. Often referred to as Natures Super Foods and rightly so, they packed with powerful vitamins and minerals. A study that involved scientific analysis of the vitamin and phytochemical content of 25 types of microgreens, found that there were higher concentrations of vitamins and carotenoids (precursors to vitamin A) than the full-grown versions of the plants! High value nutrition is not the only thing they have going for them... they look fantastic as a garnish and are a tasty addition to any meal (even the good ole fashion sarnie at lunchtime). This is a blend of the most popular microgreens, it may vary from time to time as supply dictates, but any of the following can be expected:

Carrot Yellow - 54410

Rumour has it that the yellow carrot is The Carrot for pickling! Not sure where the rumour came from or how true it is, but give it a try and let us know what you think. Yellow carrots contain high levels of the carotenoid lutein, this is excellent for preventing macular degeneration of the retina. A study (quite a few years ago, but no less significant) showed that getting lutein from yellow carrots versus taking a supplement was more successful as the supplements had the effect of reducing the beta-carotene concentrations. This just confirms what we already know, you can't beat the value of eating home-grown, fresh produce, good on you for making the effort.
