With every serving of 1st Leaf Microgreen Powder, you will be getting the benefits of 6+ cups of fully grown greens. Each scoop of 1st Leaf contains thousands of tiny edible plants, harvested at their peak nutritional potency, capturing the DNA and potential of their fully grown counterparts. The 2012 article “Assessment of Vitamin and Carotenoid Concentrations of Emerging Food Products: Edible Microgreens” published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers Dr. Qin Wang of the University of Maryland and Gene Lester of the USDA conclude that microgreens contain up to 4-40x more raw nutrients than their fully grown mature counterparts.
Our freeze-drying process removes 95% of the water content, creating the perfect delivery system of vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants and phytonutrients in every scoop. Think of it as the ultimate microdose greens supplement on the market.
