Vitamins
A • C • E • B
Support immunity & energy
Microgreens often contain higher vitamin levels per gram than mature leaves — especially vitamin C and carotenoids (provitamin A), which help immunity and skin health.
Minerals
Iron • Calcium • Potassium
For blood, bone & muscle
Fresh microgreens can be a useful source of bioavailable minerals — helpful particularly in plant-forward diets where certain minerals can be harder to obtain.
Antioxidants
Polyphenols • Flavonoids
Cell protection
Polyphenols and related compounds help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress — an important part of long-term health support.
Fiber & Prebiotics
Soluble • Insoluble
Gut-friendly
Microgreens add gentle fiber and prebiotic compounds that feed beneficial gut bacteria when eaten regularly as part of a varied diet.
Phytonutrients
Glucosinolates • Anthocyanins
Plant-based benefits
Variety-specific compounds vary — brassicas (mustard, broccoli) give glucosinolates, reds give anthocyanins — each with potential health-supporting properties.
Protein & Amino Acids
Small but quality
Supports repair
Not a primary protein source, but microgreens add concentrated, quality protein per gram — a nice boost on plant-forward plates.
