It was a sad day when I learned that meat was the source of my serious digestive issues. From here on out it was going to be 100% veggies. And I was a great cook! Steaks, BBQ, I was a meat master. But learning the ins and outs of vegetables taught me a lot of things about staying healthy. So much so, that it actually pulled me out of the ditch, so that I could even eat some meat again! 

In the world of nutrition, vegetables reign supreme. Incorporating vegetables into your daily diet is essential for overall health and wellness.

How Dense Are You? 😄

If you’re not familiar with microgreens, then it’s time to get dense (Uh, nutrient-dense that is). Microgreens are essentially the young sprouts of vegetables and herbs, harvested when they are just a few inches tall. What makes them special is their concentrated nutrient profile. In fact, research has shown that microgreens can contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts.

Microgreens differ from regular vegetables in that they are harvested much earlier in their life cycle. This means that they are packed with more nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are also more flavorful than their mature counterparts, making them a popular addition to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. And you even get them as supplements.

Some of the most nutrient-dense microgreens include fenugreek, radish, pea, mustard, sunflower, and broccoli microgreens. These microgreens are packed with nutrients and have been shown to offer a range of health benefits, from boosting energy and promoting digestion to reducing inflammation and supporting healthy gut and skin.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to incorporate microgreens into your diet is by taking a high-quality microgreen supplement like Revogreen Multivitamin. With a variety of microgreens all in one easy-to-take capsule, Revogreen Multivitamin is an easy way to get all the nutrients you need to support your overall health and well-being.

Some customers try other people’s microgreens, but they don’t get the same results as Revogreen. Why is that? Many providers grow their microgreens hydroponically or aquaponically. This means their microgreens are deficient in many nutrients. Other growers use cheap soil thinking it won’t affect the nutritional content of the plant…. but it does, drastically. But at Revogreen we grow ours in organic nutrient-dense soil, tapping into the power of mycelium networks and microbes and this makes all the difference.
