When it comes to chlorophyll, it puts the SUPER in superfood. Chlorophyll is known for its antioxidants, which thoroughly detoxify your body of harmful toxins.

As mentioned earlier, Microgreens are basically the immature forms of green vegetables. In other words, Microgreens are the first stems and leaves that emerge from the soil as a seedling grows. Therefore, these petite vegetables serve as nice decoration on the side of a gourmet meal, but they can serve you much better if you eat them. One study from the University of Maryland determined that Microgreens actually contain more vitamins and minerals while they are immature than after they mature. Meanwhile, a second study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry analysed 25 different Microgreens and discovered the following:- Red cabbage Microgreens contain the highest levels of vitamin C
- Green daikon radish Microgreens contain the greatest amount of vitamin E
- Garnet amaranth Microgreens contain the maximum concentration of vitamin K1
- Coriander (Cilantro) Microgreens offer an abundance of carotenoids
