Why is microgreen better than the traditional vegetables? Microgreens are often considered better than traditional vegetables in several ways. Firstly, microgreens are harvested when they are very young, usually after just a few days or weeks of growth, and are therefore more nutrient-dense than mature vegetables. Research has shown that microgreens can contain higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than their mature counterparts, making them a more nutrient-dense food choice. Secondly, microgreens are often more flavorful and tender than mature vegetables, making them a popular choice for gourmet chefs and food enthusiasts. They can add a burst of flavour and colour to dishes, and can be used in a variety of creative ways. Thirdly, microgreens are easier and quicker to grow than traditional vegetables, making them a popular choice for home gardeners who want to grow fresh produce in limited space or in urban areas. Microgreens can be grown indoors, year-round, using simple and inexpensive growing methods, and can be harvested in just a few weeks, providing a quick and satisfying gardening experience. Lastly, microgreens are more sustainable than traditional vegetables in some ways. They require less space, water, and fertiliser than mature vegetables, and can be grown using organic or hydroponic methods that minimise environmental impact. Overall, microgreens are considered better than traditional vegetables for their high nutrient density, flavour, ease of cultivation, and sustainability. However, it's important to note that mature vegetables also offer a wide range of health benefits and are an important part of a healthy diet.
