Harness the nutritional power of Sunflower Microgreens
Highest Nutrient Content
Good For Your Eyes
Sunflower microgreens are a rich source
of vitamin A, a nutrient that is essential for normal vision. Vitamin A
also helps protect the cells in the body from free-radical damage and keeps the
immune system healthy (17).
May Reduce Menopausal Symptoms
Sunflower microgreens are high in
calcium, which is needed for muscle contractions, blood vessel contraction
and expansion, hormone secretion, and normal heart rhythm. Getting enough
calcium can also help prevent bone loss in peri- and postmenopausal women (16).
May Reduce Symptoms Of Allergies
Sunflower greens are rich in manganese,
which is necessary for metabolizing fats and proteins (5). It can also
stimulate the production of enzymes that break down histamine, possibly helping
to reduce allergy symptoms (13).
Good For Pregnant Women
Sunflower greens are rich in folate.
Folate deficiency is associated with birth defects, so it is important for all
women of childbearing age to get enough folate or folic acid. It is also
necessary for DNA synthesis and the formation of red blood cells (1). Sunflower
microgreens are a great source because they contain more folate than most other
greens.
