Microgreens Make You and Your Kids Healthier!

Amherst MicroGreens grows microgreens which can have up to 40x more vital nutrients than adult versions of the same plant*!

Amherst MicroGreens, a small indoor farm located on New South Drive in Amherst NH, may make meal times easier at your house! This micro farm specializes in growing microgreens. Microgreens are vegetable plants that are less than 14 days old. They are beautiful and delicious, with each different variety of plant representing their own unique flavor. The most fascinating thing about microgreens however, is that they can have up to 40 times more vital nutrients than mature plants.* This means that if you or your child eats just a few broccoli microgreens, it may be equivalent to eating the entire broccoli head in nutritional value!

They are so delicious in fact, that instead of forcing your kids to eat their vegetables, they may start asking for extra servings at meals, and they may start asking if they can pack microgreens in their school lunch! Not only for children, these mighty microgreens help give the necessary nutrients to all ages, and they do so with natural ingestion, instead of having to resort to a vitamin pill, which can be less easily absorbed, and can lead to overdose in rare circumstances. Natural ingestion does not pose these potential problems.

Amherst MicroGreens currently sells 6 different varieties of microgreens. Most of these microgreens can help lower blood pressure, reduce risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar which can help keep your appetite in check**.

Each variety of microgreen has it's own combination of vitamins and minerals. Depending on the type of microgreen, the following table is designed to show a short list of health benefits the microgreens' specific combination of vitamins and minerals may give an individual.

It is recommended adults eat at least one ounce of microgreens a day, but anytime you can add even a few microgreens to your meals will help get more natural vitamins into your body. Keep microgreens refrigerated, do not crush them, do not heat them over 100 degrees, and eat them within 7 days of harvest to receive the best nutritional value they offer.
