Sweet Science Nutrition is proud to offer farm-to-home microgreens for a nutrient-dense boost to your diet. Our microgreens are dietitian-grown in Pasadena, Southern California and delivered locally less than 24 hours after harvest. They can be added to any meal for extra nutrition or blended into a power smoothie!
We specialize in growing four varieties of nutrient-dense microgreens: Broccoli, Sunflower, Pea and Radish. Microgreens are the shoots of vegetables picked just after the first leaves have developed. They are “living foods” – purposefully utilized in their most nutritious and delicious state, to enhance your diet.
Their nutrient content is more concentrated, with vitamin and antioxidants levels up to 40x higher than mature greens. Microgreens are richer in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, iron, zinc and copper. They're also packed with B vitamins, essential amino acids, folate, etc.
Our microgreens are grown on coco coir – coconut husk – instead of regular soil. Coco coir is 100% organic and a renewable resource. It is uniform in composition, clean, odorless and, unlike regular soil, it does not harbor bugs or weeds.
Each order of microgreens is sold by weight and fills a 24-oz food container, as seen below.
Nicknamed the “King of Microgreens”, Broccoli microgreens are packed with sulforaphane, a compound known for its anti-cancer properties. They also contain high levels of vitamins A, C, and K, folate, and fiber.
Sunflower microgreens are the most delicious microgreens and an excellent source of vitamins A, B, C, and E and minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. They also contain antioxidants such as phenolic acids, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Pea microgreens are rich in vitamins A, C, and K and minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium. They actually have more vitamin C than an orange! They are also a good source of antioxidants, which help to protect the body from free radical damage.
Radish microgreens are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K. They also contain calcium, iron, and potassium. Radish microgreens have a spicy and tangy flavor and are used in microgreen mixes. They are a good source of antioxidants such as anthocyanins and quercetin, which help protect the body against damage from free radicals and have anti-cancer properties.
