Most people struggle to add fresh, nutrient-rich greens to their diet. At Microgreens World, we teach you how to easily grow and market microgreens so you can enjoy or sell healthy, homegrown greens while saving money and reducing waste.

Microgreens have long been relegated to the realm of culinary garnishes. However, their potential as a nutritional powerhouse is only beginning to be understood. At Microgreens World, we’re at the forefront of this emerging field, bridging the gap between gourmet cuisine and cutting-edge nutritional science.

I’m Andrew Neves, a professional health and wellness coach, microgreens enthusiast, and researcher. My journey into the world of microgreens began in 2017 when a colleague introduced me to these miniature marvels. Intrigued by their intense flavors and purported health benefits, I dove into the scientific literature, uncovering a wealth of promising research .

What I found was astonishing: microgreens harvested just 1-3 weeks after germination contain nutrient concentrations that far exceed their full-grown counterparts. For instance, the glucosinolate content in Brassica microgreens—which includes broccoli, kale, and red cabbage—is particularly noteworthy. These compounds are precursors to sulforaphane, a phytochemical that has shown significant anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties in peer-reviewed, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.

After years of cultivating microgreens, I compiled my knowledge into a comprehensive guide titled “Children of the Soil.”

As a scientist and health advocate, I was compelled to explore further. I set up my first growing system and began cultivating various microgreen species, meticulously documenting their growth patterns, nutrient profiles, and potential applications.

Microgreens World emerged from this passion project. Our mission is threefold:

1. To advance the scientific understanding of microgreens through rigorous research and collaboration with academic institutions.
2. To educate the public on the nutritional benefits and culinary applications of microgreens.
3. To provide high-quality, nutrient-dense microgreens to health-conscious consumers and culinary professionals alike.

We’re particularly interested in the pharmacological potential of microgreens. Their high concentration of bioactive compounds presents an intriguing avenue for developing novel nutraceuticals and functional foods. We’re currently exploring the in vitro to in vivo translation of microgreen-derived compounds, with a focus on their potential therapeutic applications.

At Microgreens World, we believe that these tiny plants represent a significant leap forward in sustainable nutrition. By harnessing the power of microgreens, we aim to revolutionize how we approach both preventative health and culinary innovation.

Join us on this exciting journey as we uncover the full potential of nature’s most concentrated source of nutrition.

Whether you’re a microgreens business owner, grower or gardener, fellow researcher, a health professional, or simply someone interested in optimizing your diet, Microgreens World is your destination for cutting-edge information and high-quality products in the burgeoning field of microgreens science.
