A Microgreen is the second stage in the four stage growth cycle of a vegetable which includes:

 

 

 

1. Sprout

2. Micro

3. Baby

4. Mature

 

 

The compelling characteristics of a Microgreen include:

 

• Flavor: The distinct and intense flavor of Microgreens enhances any meal- try them on soups, salads, sandwiches, meat, fish, pasta, and anything else you regularly eat!

• Garnish:  The diverse colors of Microgreens enhances and accents the presentation of fine food.

• Nutrition:  Microgreens are known by experts as a “Super Food” due to their high nutritional concentration. For example, 1 oz of Red Cabbage Microgreens contains the same nutritional value as 40 oz of Mature Cabbage, making Microgreens much more efficient and cost effective at providing nutrition.

 

Information on the Absorption Rates of Vitamins:

Vitamin absorption is something that anyone taking supplements should pay special attention to. Not only will it affect the usefulness of the vitamins being consumed, it will also result in either no benefits or many benefits. It’s not just about vitamin absorption: it’s about all the nutrients you may take in a supplement.

 

The following is a chart that compares the absorption rates of different delivery systems:

Delivery System	Rate of Absorption
Pills or tablets	10%
Capsules	20%
Transdermal Patch	45%
