Watercress plant provides unique flavor to culinary dishes, one that’s salty, yet spicy, and slightly bitter. Texture is delicately thin with deliciously edible white blooms. Fresh watercress can be ideal in creative soups and salads, sandwiches and much more.

Health Benefits

• Loaded with antioxidants, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants help protect the body against oxidative stress, neutralize harmful free radicals, and reduce inflammation, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and certain cancers.
• Excellent source of vitamin K, which plays a vital role in bone health. Vitamin K is essential for proper calcium utilization and bone mineralization. Adequate vitamin K intake can help maintain strong and healthy bones.
• Lutein and zeaxanthin, in watercress, is beneficial for eye health. These compounds accumulate in the retina and help protect against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
• Folate is especially important for pregnancy to support proper neurological development 
• Iron content supports healthy blood 

It all started with Brassica oleracea, the common plant that started the now large brassica vegetable family! Brassica (aka cruciferous) vegetables are part of the mustard family (genus Brassicaceae) and cabbage family - giving them their sometimes “spicy” flavor. Read about the benefits!

Blend Includes:

• Broccoli
• Arugula
• Chinese cabbage
• Purple Radish
• Red Mustard

Health Benefits

This antioxidant blend of brassica microgreens is a great source of vitamins (A, Folate, C, E, K), minerals (iron, potassium, calcium), phytonutrients (carotenoids, glucosinolates (I3C and sulforaphane), polyphenols), and fiber.

It all started with Brassica oleracea, the common plant that started the now large brassica vegetable family! Brassica (aka cruciferous) vegetables are part of the mustard family (genus Brassicaceae) and cabbage family - giving them their sometimes “spicy” flavor.

The beautiful part of microgreens is that ounce for ounce they are more nutrient-dense than their full-size counterparts and are super easy to incorporate into meals.

Harvesting plants at the microgreen stage results in:

• Higher levels of vitamins (C, folate, thiamin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, niacin, etc.).
• Lower levels of “antinutrients” like phytate, oxalate, and tannins.
• Enhanced flavor
• Improved availability and absorption of minerals like iron and calcium
• Enhanced digestibility of protein found in the plant

Brassica vegetables have been studied to potentially:

• Prevent oxidative stress (which damages cells) by providing antioxidants
• Benefit neurodegenerative disease and heart disease
• Turn on detox enzymes in your body
• Increase phase II detoxification
• Support healthy detoxification and elimination of estrogen metabolites.
• May be beneficial for hormonal balance and prevention of estrogen-sensitive cancers.
• Support the immune system
• Decrease chronic inflammation
• Reduce the risk of cancers
• Lung, colon, pancreatic, breast, bladder, and prostate cancers
• Reduce and/or slow growth of cancer cells

Cooking (boiling) reduces the level of glucosinolates so we recommend that you consume these microgreens raw to obtain the most beneficial nutrients,

Looking to get the most brassica benefit from your microgreens? Chew mindfully! Chewing helps to break up the cell walls of the microgreens which release the enzyme myrosinase. Myrosinase can then come into contact with the glucosinolates changing them into isothiocyanates (like sulforaphane). Your gut bacteria help too, but chewing, chopping, etc. have the greatest impact on increasing sulforaphane (which is one of the most well-known beneficial phytochemicals in brassicas).

Put this blend in everything! We suggest putting a handful of these microgreens in your:

• Salads
• Sandwiches/Wraps
• Smoothies
• Savory Oatmeal
• Eggs

**Disclaimer: If undergoing chemotherapy only consume with the direction of your oncology provider. If low thyroid (or low iodine) concerns talk with your medical practitioner prior to consuming large quantities.

Our blend of herbs can help take your Mediterranean dishes from delicious to out-of-this -world, while adding an extra punch of nutrition! This farm-fresh blend of herbs may include petite fennel, pennyroyal mint, mountain mint,  Greek oregano, and chives.
