Supercharge Your Health with These New Microgreen Varieties!

We are thrilled to announce that we are introducing three new microgreen varieties to our lineup: Calabrese Broccoli, Rocket, and Wild Arugula. Each of these nutrient-packed greens are launching into regular rotation next week and will offer a delightful mix of flavors to elevate your meals while providing a host of health benefits. 

Broccoli, Rocket & Wild Arugula

Microgreens are a treasure trove of essential vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds. What makes our new additions unique is their rich content of sulfur-containing compounds. These powerhouses of nutrition are especially abundant in Brassica vegetables, like our Calabrese Broccoli and Arugula varieties.

The sulfur-rich compounds, such as glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, indoles, and sulforaphane, are noteworthy for their potential health benefits. Studies have linked these compounds to a range of positive health effects. They have been found to play a crucial role in reducing inflammation, protecting against heart disease, enhancing liver function, and promoting eye health. Additionally, these sulfur compounds have been widely researched for their anti-cancer properties.

Let's dive a bit deeper into our new varieties:

Calabrese Broccoli: This is one of the most common broccoli varieties, and it's packed with sulforaphane. It's a potent antioxidant and detoxifier, offering potential neuroprotective properties and benefits for heart health.

Rocket Arugula (Eruca Sativa): Better known as just Arugula, this peppery green has a unique blend of sulfur compounds that contribute to its spicy flavor and potential health benefits. Eruca sativa is rich in antioxidants and can support your body's natural detoxification processes.

Wild Arugula (Diplotaxis Tenuifolia): This wild variety of Arugula, also known as Sylvetta, is a concentrated source of beneficial sulfur compounds. Its spicy, tangy flavor is an excellent addition to any dish.

Remember, the concentration of these compounds is particularly high in Microgreens, making these tiny greens an excellent choice to maximize your nutrient intake†. 

Adding Microgreens to your diet is simple and delicious. You can use them as a topping for salads, soups, and pasta, mix them into smoothies, or even enjoy them straight from the package for a nutrient-rich snack.

We can't wait for you to try these new Microgreen varieties and experience the flavorful and health-boosting benefits they offer. Mark your calendars for their debut next week!

Stay tuned for more updates, and keep growing!
