Properties of microgreens
میکروگرین ها
Microgreens are young, tender greens used to enhance the color, texture, or flavor of salads and main dishes. They can be grown on a small scale and indoors, making them widely adopted by controlled environment agriculture, an indoor farming practice that is increasingly important for feeding growing urban populations.
Nutritional value
Microgreens are attracting more consumer attention due to their high nutritional value and unique sensory characteristics. This review focuses on the nutritional quality, sensory evaluation, pre- and post-harvest interventions, and health benefits of microgreens. They are rich in vitamins (e.g., vitamin C), minerals (e.g., copper and zinc), and phytochemicals, including carotenoids and phenolic compounds, which act as antioxidants in the human body.
Conserve nutrients
Pre-harvest factors such as light exposure, salinity stress, nutrient enrichment, and natural substrates affect the photosynthetic and metabolic activities of microgreens and have been shown to improve their nutritional quality, though the effects vary among species. Post-harvest, packaging methods and storage temperature can influence the retention of nutrients in microgreens.
History of microgreens
Microgreens are immature vegetable greens harvested after the cotyledon leaves have developed. They were produced in Southern California since the 1990s and have gained increasing popularity over the past decade due to their fresh flavor and nutritional benefits.
Microgreens can be considered a better alternative to sprouts due to their richer nutritional content and more intense flavor.
Answers to your questions about microgreens
Microgreens are young seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs. Unlike larger plants and vegetables that require a longer growth period, microgreens can be harvested and consumed one to ten days after the cotyledon leaves have developed.
Microgreens are exceptionally high in vitamins, minerals, and health-promoting components. For example, purple cabbage microgreens have forty times more vitamin E and six times more vitamin C, which can help detoxify the body and aid in weight loss. Coriander microgreens contain three times more beta-carotene. Amaranth microgreens, also known as “young plants,” have the highest levels of phylloquinone, a form of vitamin K. Radish microgreens have the highest concentration of tocopherol, a form of vitamin E. Given their high vitamin K content, microgreens are considered vegetables that can help lower blood pressure. Additionally, their high antioxidant content is a significant benefit. Antioxidants are crucial for eliminating free radicals, which are produced in the body due to factors such as air pollution, cigarette smoke, alcohol consumption, toxins, high blood sugar levels, excessive intake of saturated fats, disease, and intense exercise. Free radicals can weaken the immune system and damage cell membranes.
In fact, due to their high antioxidant levels, microgreens play a significant role in boosting your immune system and improving overall health.
Microgreens can be used in a variety of dishes according to your taste, including smoothies, salads, and as food garnishes. Pea microgreens offer a delicious and unique flavor for smoothies, and you can add chard microgreens to your red fruit smoothies. For highly nutritious smoothies, wheatgrass microgreens are an excellent choice.
If you want a special and colorful salad, you can use various microgreens such as purple cabbage, chard, sunflower (which will give your salad an unforgettable taste), corn, and more.
Radish microgreens add a unique and pleasant flavor to your pasta, while colorful microgreens like chard, amaranth, quinoa, and purple cabbage can be used to garnish appetizers such as hummus, pasta salad, baba ganoush, and tabbouleh.
Although microgreens are small and delicate, they can add a vibrant, nutritious, and delicious touch to your meals.
These products are prepared organically, but for added peace of mind, you can soak a packet of microgreens in a solution of water and a bit of salt for 5 minutes, then rinse before consuming.
Microgreen packets can be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of 4 to 5 degrees Celsius for 5 to 7 days while still sealed.
After washing, microgreens will last for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator if kept in a closed container.
Please avoid storing microgreens at room temperature for extended periods to maintain their quality and freshness.
