Sunflower microgreens contain a rich supply of vitamins and minerals containing more than the adult equivalent of their respective mature vegetables.

Sunflower microgreens are among the most complete foods you can add to your diet to improve nutrition.

These nutrients help support our immune system as well as provide us with energy for our day-to-day activities.

Benefits of Sunflower Microgreen's:

•Supports healthy skin, hair, and brain:       

Sunflower microgreens provide a healthy dose of vitamin A and omega-fatty acids which promotes glowing skin from the inside-out. 

Let's not forget Riboflavin which promotes the development of shiny hair, and plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy brain.

 

•Promotes healthy bones and teeth:           

Sunnies contain vitamin K which may help prevent hip fractures and builds healthy bone tissues. Vitamin K works to activate proteins needed for healthy blood clotting. 

The calcium content helps in the development and protection of bones and teeth. 

High levels of manganese further support healthy bones.

 

•May ward off Alzheimer’s disease:     

According to Harvard Health, diets rich in vitamin E may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Vitamin E works to protect cells, lipids, and vitamin A from damage.

 

•Promotes a healthy heart:                         

Lowers blood pressure, protects arteries from injury and lessens the risk of heart disease when paired with vitamin C and selenium. Copper helps metabolize iron and make new red blood cells.

Sunflower microgreens provide plenty of folate and B-vitamins which play an important role in new cell creation, and promotes healthy development of the brain and spine when taken early in pregnancy.

The vitamin C content is good for keeping a robust immune system and the development of collagen.
