How Do I Know Which Microgreens Regrow After Cutting?

Posted on May 13, 2021

Microgreens are probably one of the most talked about green plants right now. People are going crazy over them and want to know “which microgreens regrow after cutting?” The truth is, it doesn’t really matter which microgreens regrow after cutting because as far as how you grow it, they’re exactly the same as fresh. They’re the exact same form of alfalfa. However, if you’ve never tried them before, it may seem strange that they don’t all regrow after cutting.

One reason why they don’t regrow after cutting is simply because it doesn’t get them the nutrients they need. Alfalfa has a high quality protein source (proteins are building blocks of skin, muscle and tissue) and it provides the right amount of amino acids. It also contains a rich supply of vitamins and trace minerals, like calcium, iron and zinc. The right microgreens nutrients match up perfectly with what your body is looking for.

Another reason why microgreens don’t cut as well as fresh is because they lack enzymes. Enzymes are necessary for microgreens to grow properly. When microgreens are picked and chopped they’re typically picked very small and then the stem of the plant is pulled off along with the root. The microgreens nutrients sit in the soil where they were growing before being removed. Without the enzymes, microgreens just don’t do very well when being harvested. So, even if you’re trying to grow microgreens, make sure they’re fresh before you cut them.

You may be wondering, “Why can’t fresh be used as microgreens regrow after cutting?” The reason fresh vegetables and fruits are not as potent as what’s available in supplement form is because the nutrients have been destroyed by the time they’ve made it to the supplement container. Once inside the plastic, they’re no longer working their natural magic. They have already been destroyed by the time they make it past the first layer of plastic.

The best way to get fresh nutrients back into your body is through raw food. Foods like collard greens, kale, mustard greens and barley grass are full of essential nutrients that are very hard to find in supplement form. If you want to regrow microgreens after cutting, eat them raw. They’ll work just as well as fresh if not better.

Now, that we’ve covered some of the most common questions regarding “How do I know which microgreens regrow after cutting?” There are still a few more, but for now you should be able to feel good about where your supplement came from and how effective it is. Make sure to keep your eyes open for ingredients that are known to boost the effect of other supplements. It’s really easy to make a huge mistake if you’re not careful.
