Kale microgreens, like other microgreens, are young edible plants harvested at an early stage of growth, just after the first true leaves have developed. While specific research on kale microgreens might be limited, they generally offer similar health benefits to mature kale, but in a more concentrated form due to their early growth stage.

Taste

It has a very mild flavor, nothing like it's bitter mature counterpart, and can easily be added to smoothies, sandwiches and salads for a giant vitamin boost.

Very high in Vitamins K, C, B6 & A, and also a great source of plant based calcium, lutein, and iron. Cup for cup micro kale has as much calcium as milk!

Health Benefits

  • Antioxidant Powerhouse: They contain a high concentration of antioxidants such as beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Kale microgreens contain compounds that may help reduce inflammation in the body, potentially lowering the risk of chronic inflammatory conditions.

  • Heart Health: The fiber, potassium, and antioxidants in kale microgreens contribute to heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and support overall cardiovascular function.

  • Bone Health: Kale microgreens are a good source of vitamin K, which is essential for bone health as it contributes to proper calcium absorption and bone mineralization.

  • Vision Support: The high content of lutein and zeaxanthin in kale microgreens can benefit eye health by protecting against age-related macular degeneration and promoting overall visual well-being.

  • Detoxification Support: Compounds found in kale microgreens, such as glucosinolates, may support the body's natural detoxification processes and help eliminate harmful substances.

  • Cancer Prevention: Some studies suggest that glucosinolates in kale microgreens might have potential anti-cancer properties by inhibiting the growth of certain cancer cells and promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death).
