Mayo Clinic Criteria
According to the Mayo Clinic, healthy food must meet at least three of the following criteria:
- It must be readily available.
- It must be a good or excellent source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
- It must be high in phytonutrients and antioxidant compounds (vitamins A, E, and beta carotene).
- There must be evidence that it can help reduce some chronic diseases.
Microgreens meet those criteria.

Phytochemicals & Fat Cell Reduction
There is growing evidence that phytochemicals in microgreens may reduce the formation of fat cells.
These phytochemicals include beta-carotene, retinoic acid (RA), polyphenols, and flavonoids like the quercetin in microgreens.
This ability of microgreens suggests that they may protect against obesity.
Microgreens Nutrition Data
For example, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR), phylloquinone (vitamin K1) in mature amaranth, basil, and red cabbage were 26 times less than the values for their corresponding microgreens.
Red cabbage microgreens had six times more vitamin C than mature red cabbage. And the study further showed that “red cabbage microgreens contained over 40 times the vitamin E content of its mature counterpart.”
