Hello class,
Welcome back for another lesson about microgreens! Today we are going to unpack the HUGE health benefits of the microgreens we provide and in another class, learn about others we do not sell.
We are going to dive in and talk about: Broccoli, Radish, Collard greens, swiss chard, sunflowers, beets, and pea shoots. We will discuss their daily nutritional value of a 2000 calorie diet assuming you eat 1 bag of 50g (not a lot either!), as well as the nutrients they carry and their specialized compounds that really kick butt!
** EDUCATION WARNING ** The following contains tons of beneficial information to decide what you need for your body.
Broccoli:
Regular broccoli carries a compound called sulforaphane which actively fights cancer. Broccoli microgreens carry the same compound, but concentrated by 40 times!! Each bag contains; 80% Vitamin A, 100% Vitamin C, and 120% of Vitamin K.
FUN FACT: Broccoli has more Vitamin C than oranges!!
Radish:
Radish is yet another microgreen with MORE Vitamin C than oranges- but by weight! These pepper-y greens are loaded with antioxidants that help fight inflammation, aid to detox and liver function! Each bag contains 40% Vitamin A, 35% Vitamin C, and 100% Vitamin K.
Collard greens:
Collard greens have a mild flavor and are high in Calcium and Vitamin K, making them crazy good for bone health. They are cousins to kale and broccoli and share similar health properties. Each bag contains 70% Vitamin A, 50% Vitamin C, 10% Calcium and 150% Vitamin K

Sunflowers:
Sunflowers are beautiful and radiant. They do the same for humans! Sunflowers are rich with healthy fats and vitamin E, making them great for your skin, and builds your immunity. Not only are they super good for you, they also taste like candy and ate great for smoothies or avocado toast.

That was a TON of information, and for those of you who stayed to the end, on behalf of MLH, I would like to thank you for your support, and desire to learn, and through food even raise your vibrational frequency. Next class I will take it down a couple notches in hard facts, bring it back to fun facts and get into some fun!
