Are Microgreens the Mightiest Greens You’re Not Eating (Yet)?
Don’t be fooled by their size — microgreens may be tiny, but they pack an incredible punch when it comes to flavour, nutrition, and versatility.
Often described as “vegetable confetti,” these miniature greens are young seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs, harvested just after they’ve developed their first true leaves. While they may look delicate, they are often 40 times more nutrient-dense than their mature counterparts.
At Greensmith Grocers, we’re proud to source certified organic microgreens locally from Woodford Microgreens and Greens & Blooms in Cooroy, grown with care and intention, right here on the Sunshine Coast.
Health Benefits of Microgreens
- Nutrient-Dense – Rich in vitamins C, E, and K, beta-carotene, and polyphenols
- Support immune health and reduce inflammation
- Assist in detoxification and cellular repair
- Beneficial for heart health, digestion, and healthy skin
- Packed with chlorophyll and antioxidants for vitality and energy
Think of them as your daily green boost, ideal for those wanting to get more nutrients without the bulk.
How to Use Microgreens
Microgreens are incredibly versatile. You can:
- Toss them through salads for texture and colour
- Add to smoothies for a fresh green lift
- Layer over eggs or avo toast
- Garnish on soups, stir-fries, or roasted veggies
- Blend into pesto or green sauces
They’re a simple and elegant way to elevate the look (and nutrient value) of every meal.
