Why Are Microgreens Better Than Vegetables?

Posted on May 13, 2021

Why are microgreens better than vegetables? In a nutritionally dense world, vegetables can seem a little padded at times. With all of the food sources we have for them and all of the different ways we prepare them, it’s not surprising that we’ve gotten used to a certain degree to an unnatural taste. But there is a new twist on the usual old vegetable and that is growing microgreens.

Microgreens are small, leafy vegetables that are very interesting and unique. Unlike regular vegetables, they grow upside down because they’re growing in soil. It’s sort of like growing a plant that has been sculpted and then placed in a container. But when you plant microgreens, you get a plant that has been fashioned specifically to grow upside down. The upside down growing tip offers several advantages for growing microgreens.

First of all, microgreens are way easier to take care of and don’t need to be sprayed with pesticides to keep them healthy. This means less work for you as well. You don’t have to wait for them to be ready to plant, spray them with various chemicals, or worry about weeds taking up residence in your yard. You don’t have to be concerned about rotting plants on your hands and knees either. Microgreens just rise from the earth without being planted in soil. This is ideal for people who live in apartments, have small spaces and limited space for a garden.

Another advantage to eating microgreens is their lack of taste. These tiny plants come from arid environments, so their flavors usually consist of one of two things. There are many herbs that have a grassy, minty flavor that can complement many types of dishes. In some cases, fruits or vegetables can overpower the taste of the greens. When eating microgreens, you don’t have to worry about this because they have no real taste.

Finally, eating microgreens is the best way to get all of the nutrients you need while not overloading yourself with nutrients you do not need. Vegetables can be high in calories, but it is difficult to consume enough of them to get your daily recommended amounts. As a result, your body keeps burning calories at a slower rate. When burning calories at a slower rate, your body burns off extra fat. When you eat vegetables, your body burns off more fat and this helps you lose weight and keep it off.

It should be clear by now that eating microgreens is much better for your health than eating vegetables like kale and chard. You can enjoy all of the benefits vegetables have to offer without overloading yourself with too many of them. Microgreens are a great alternative to vegetables like kale and chard, and they are even better than cooked vegetables. The next time you find yourself craving vegetables like kale and chard, just remember why you are craving them, and you’ll be on your way to a great diet.
