What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage.
They are “living foods” – Purposefully utilized in their most nutritious and delicious state.

Why Feed Microgreens To Your Pets?
When it comes to microgreens, their miniature size definitely doesn’t matter. As mentioned,
researchers found microgreens have higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, phytonutrients and antioxidants than mature vegetables. They’re also rich in polyphenols …
antioxidants that trap and eliminate harmful free radicals in the body.
They also show high concentrations of potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium and copper and vitamins C, E and K.
There’s research showing that microgreens helped
lower their risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease.
They also reduced weight gain.
It’s believed microgreens lower the risk for the following diseases:
Heart Disease– Antioxidants appear to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Microgreens may also lower triglyceride levels.
Some Cancers– Fruits and vegetables rich in polyphenols mayflower the risk of some cancers.
Diabetes– Antioxidants reduce stress that prevents sugar from entering cells.
Broccoli microgreens contain between 10 and 100 times the
sulforaphane of adult plants.
Sulforaphane is a well-researched compound that has been shown to combat cancer.
Benefits of Sulforaphane
Sulforaphane is an indirect antioxidant. It doesn’t bind directly to free radicals as most antioxidants do. What it does is trigger other important systems in your dog’s body to create their own antioxidants. It’s the body’s internal army that creates soldiers to fight the constant threat of free radicals.
This process is the Nrf2 pathway.
Each cell in your dog’s body has this Nrf2 messenger.
When there is cell damage (likely caused by free radicals), an alert goes out to that army. And the body goes to work to produce more antioxidant enzymes. That keeps free radicals under control and helps prevent:
Oxidative stress, Cancer, Other chronic diseases
Sulforaphane also neutralizes toxins, reduces inflammation and may slow tumor growth.
And your dog will get as much as 100 times more sulforaphane in broccoli greens than in the mature vegetable.
Sunflower
Sunflower microgreens contain vitamins A, B, D, and E. They’re also a great source of minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium.
Red Cabbage
Cabbage microgreens pack a lot of nutrition in a tiny package. Cabbage has vitamin A, B, C, E, and K. It’s also high in beta-carotene and other antioxidants. Red Acre Cabbage is considered a superfood because it reduces inflammation and has cancer-fighting flavonoids. Plus antioxidants that improve eye, teeth, bone and immune health. Cabbage microgreens are among the best microgreens to give your dog.
It's important to gradually add microgreens to your dog's diet at first. The regular recommended serving is 1/8th tsp per every 10lbs body weight. They are that good!
