Kale MicroGreens

• Kale microgreens are rich in multiple essential nutrients, including the following potential health benefits:
• Vitamin A: Crucial for cell division, growth, vision, immunity, and reproduction
• Vitamin B6: Plays a key role in metabolism, converting food into energy; brain development; and regulation of immune responses
• Vitamin  C: Crucial for the development, growth, and repair of body tissues and  serves as an antioxidant, protecting cells against the effects of free  radicals, which are molecules produced during the breakdown of food or  exposure to radiation, tobacco smoke, and other external sources. (Free  radicals are associated with the development of heart disease, cancer,  Alzheimer’s disease, and other diseases.)
• Vitamin  E: Neutralizes or reduces free radicals, protecting molecular and  cellular components, preventing free radicals from oxygenating  cholesterol, thus reducing the chances of stroke or heart disease
• Vitamin K: Plays a key role in wound healing, blood clotting, and bone growth
• Calcium:  Critical in building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth and proper  heart, nerve, and muscle functioning and may help reduce the risk of  heart disease
• Copper: Helps to  maintain healthy bones; proper functioning of nerves, blood vessels, and  the immune system; the formation of red blood cells; and proper iron  absorption
• Fiber-rich phosphorus:  Important in managing the body’s energy use and storage, filtering and  removing waste from the kidneys, and promoting nerve conduction
• Folate:  Belongs to the B vitamins and is crucial in the formation of red blood  cells, proper cellular growth and function, and reduced risk of brain  and congenital spinal disabilities during pregnancy
• Iron:  Helps produce the oxygen-carrying component (hemoglobin) in red blood  cells, enhances the body’s energy use, and strengthens the immune  system.
• Magnesium: Crucial in  numerous biochemical reactions in the body, regulating blood pressure,  supporting the immune system, and helping with muscle and nerve  functioning, reducing the possibility of kidney stones
• Manganese: Important for bone and connective tissue development, blood sugar regulation, and normal brain and nerve function
• Potassium:  Needed for proper cellular functioning, regulating the heartbeat,  synthesizing protein, regulating muscle and nerve functioning, and  metabolizing carbohydrates
