Abstract
ABSTRACT
If there is one thing that has characterised the dietary habits of recent
years, it is the increasing tendency for more and more people to turn to
plant-based foods. An important ally of this change is the continuous
introduction of novel foods into the market, with the ultimate aim of
improving living standards and promoting health. An emerging product
of plant origin that is gradually spreading globally are microgreens with
data so far referring to a “super food”. Microgreens are aromatic herbs,
also known as Microgreens, which are in the first phase of their
development, between the vegetation and the appearance of the first
leaves. They have a rich flavor and offer a welcome hint of color in a
variety of dishes. Despite their small size, they accumulate a high level
of nutrients compared to the more mature vegetables. It is generally
accepted that they are beneficial not only because they provide the
necessary nutrients for the human body but also have significant health
effects. The first chapter highlights the nutritional value of microgreens
and especially of some key species used. The next chapter focuses on the
nutrients of microgreens as well as the analysis of some basic vitamins.
Finally, analyzed the safety of microgreens in both production and
cultivation.
