2. Rich in polyphenols🌱
Along with vitamins and minerals, polyphenols can help protect our bodies from the root causes of many chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Type 2 Diabetes, and heart disease. This article talks about why polyphenols are good for us and which microgreens have the highest amounts of polyphenols.

4. Highly Concentrated Nutrients🌱

5. Can be Grown in Minimal Space🌱
One of the beauties of microgreens is that they can be grown with very little space. We’re talking as small as a sunny windowsill or a small shelf with a grow light. We grow our microgreens on vertical racks indoors, and are able to grow roughly 20lbs of microgreens in a 60 sq ft space!
