Kartik Kannan, Shanumugam Palani Swamy

Abstract: Microgreens, the young seedlings of many vegetables and herbs, have developed as a result of the growing interest in functional foods aimed at treating and preventing disease. This study investigates the levels of ascorbic acid, lutein, chlorophyll, phenolic, and flavonoids in fenugreek, mustard, coriander, radish, and broccoli microgreens. Microgreens' health-promoting benefits are attributed to these compounds, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Remarkably, microgreens can be cultivated within 7-21 days, requiring minimal water and space, thus offering sustainable and accessible options for urban and indoor farming. As a nutrient-dense food, microgreens hold potential for human health and sustainable agriculture, due to their nutritional composition. Researchers are investigating these facts and demonstrating their potential to improve nutrient density in diets.
