Brassica microgreens best eaten with healthy fats – Sow Fresh

Brassica microgreens best eaten with healthy fats

Did you know brassica microgreens (broccoli, rocket, mustard, kale, radish, asian greens) are best eaten alongside a healthy fat - think eggs, avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil, oily fish. This is because they contain Vitamin A, E & K, which aren’t water soluble, so they won’t dissolve in water. So for our bodies to absorb these essential vitamins, they need to dissolve in fats instead. Intriguing huh?!

So next time you’re sprinkling a brassica microgreen, have a little think whether you are combining it with a healthy fat :)

Don’t fancy going outside to grow your own yummy goodies? No problem! I have the perfect solution...microgreens...I love microgreens because they germinate and grow quickly and can sit on your windowsill or kitchen worktop meaning they are easily accessible so you can just chop away at them with your scissors and add them to your dinner 😋 .

Microgreens what’s not to love? Quick and easy to grow and highly nutritious...The whole kit is really easy to use with clear step by step instructions and pre measured coir and seed packs...I would happily purchase to get loved ones growing at home 💚 .

Stunning microgreen kit from @sowfreshofficial. I am absolutely thrilled with the quality of this kit, the tubs are recycled plastic and dishwasher safe, it isn’t grown in soil but coir which is a byproduct of coconuts, this alone makes for excellent composting material once your microgreens have grown 🌱 ...I adore the wooden box design.

I am particularly impressed with this company and its continuing prompt support . They have many more advanced kits for those wanting to go further with Microgreen growing. If you're new to Microgreens, I highly recommend this product and hope they continue to do well.

I really like the quality of the box and black tubs, how the amount of seeds and coir is measured out makes things very easy and the instructions are very clear. The kit is nice and compact too to fit on windowsills.

I purchased the Chomper, (Excellent Quality) and continue to have great success with all seeds. Richard was extremely helpful, pointing me in the right direction. I am certainly going to be buying from this company for a long time to come. Thank you for getting me started on micro greens.
