Microgreens have become one of the fastest-growing trends in healthy eating — and for good reason. These tiny greens are packed with flavor, vibrant color, and impressive nutritional benefits. At Saskatoon Sprouts, we proudly grow fresh, locally produced microgreens right here in Saskatoon using clean and sustainable indoor farming methods.
What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are young vegetable greens harvested shortly after germination, usually within 7 to 21 days. They are smaller than baby greens but more developed than sprouts. Despite their small size, microgreens contain concentrated nutrients and bold flavors that make them popular among chefs, health-conscious families, and fitness enthusiasts.
Some of the most popular microgreens include:
- Broccoli
- Radish
- Sunflower
- Pea Shoots
- Arugula
- Purple Kohlrabi
- Mustard
Why Are Microgreens So Healthy?
Microgreens are often called “superfoods” because they can contain significantly higher
nutrient levels compared to mature vegetables. They are rich in:
- Vitamins A, C, E, and K
- Antioxidants
- Minerals
- Fiber
- Plant-based nutrients
Different varieties offer different health benefits. For example:
- Broccoli microgreens are known for antioxidants and immune support
- Radish microgreens provide a spicy flavor and digestive benefits
- Sunflower microgreens are high in protein and healthy fats
