Nutrition Authority

Microgreens used in professional kitchens are among the most studied edible plant products for concentrated phytochemical content at early growth stages. ChefPax sources research-reviewed evidence for the crops it grows — sunflower, broccoli, radish, pea shoots, amaranth, shiso, and mustard — to help chefs make informed sourcing decisions.

What the evidence supports

• Edible microgreens have been studied for concentrated vitamin and carotenoid content relative to mature vegetables.
moderate evidence
• Nutrient levels vary substantially by species, growing conditions, light, and harvest timing — sourcing from a consistent, local farm reduces variability.
strong evidence
• Fresh-cut and live-tray microgreens retain texture and heat-sensitive compounds better than precut product held in transit.
limited evidence
