Your Food is a Lie - 50% Less Nutrients in Your Vegetables found in Grocery Stores!

According to the National Library of Medicine, fruits and vegetables today contain 15–50% fewer nutrients than they did just 60 years ago.

Modern agricultural practices — including chemical farming, genetic modification, and high-yield crop breeding — have created a food system that prioritizes shelf life and appearance over nutrient density and flavor.

According to a 2024 peer-reviewed study published in Nutrients, declines over the past 50–70 years include:

Iron: ↓ up to 81% in some vegetables
Calcium: ↓ 57% in lemons, 65% in tangerines
Vitamin A: ↓ up to 67% in greens like collards and parsley
Magnesium, Zinc, and Copper: All significantly reduced in most common produce

On top of that, produce in grocery stores is often 1–2 weeks old before you even buy it. During that time, nutrient levels degrade further — some water-soluble vitamins (like Vitamin C) may lose over 50% of their potency within 7 days of harvest.

The Alarming Decline of Nutrition in Our Food 🥬

What Are Microgreens? 🌱

Microgreens are young, edible vegetables that are harvested shortly after they start growing—usually within 7 to 14 days of sprouting. They're basically the baby versions of vegetables and herbs like broccoli, kale, radish, sunflower, and pea shoots.

Even though they're small, microgreens are nutrient-dense, meaning they can contain up to 69 times more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than their fully grown counterparts. They're known for their fresh flavor, vibrant colors, and health benefits.

You can use microgreens to top salads, sandwiches, soups, smoothies, or eat them on their own as a healthy snack. They're grown either in soil or with hydroponics and harvested at their peak freshness.

In short: microgreens are tiny plants with big nutrition and big flavor—perfect for adding a fresh, healthy boost to any meal.

Why We Grow MicroGreens 🌱

🥦 MicroGreens > Vegetables

1. Packed With Nutrients
Microgreens contain up to 4 to 40 times more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to mature vegetables. That means you get more nutrition in every bite — especially vitamins like C, E, and K, and compounds that help fight inflammation and protect your cells.

2. They Don’t Waste Nutrients Growing Up
When a vegetable grows, it uses a lot of its stored nutrients and energy to build roots, stems, and leaves. Microgreens are harvested early, while all those good nutrients are still concentrated in the tiny shoots.

3. Lower in Anti-Nutrients
As vegetables mature, they develop compounds called anti-nutrients, which can block your body from absorbing certain minerals. Since microgreens are harvested early, they have fewer anti-nutrients, making their nutrients easier for your body to use.
