We’ve known that baby spinach leaves, for example, have higher levels of phytonutrients than mature spinach leaves, but what about really baby spinach–just a week or two old. Microgreens won hands down, possessing significantly higher nutrient densities than mature leaves. For example, red cabbage microgreens have a 6-fold higher vitamin C concentration than mature red cabbage and 69 times the vitamin K.

Microgreens are clearly more nutrient dense, meaning typically they are more concentrated sources of vitamins and minerals.
Microgreens have higher levels per gram of vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids than mature crops.
Microgreens are equally low in energy, about 120kJ or 29kcal per 100g based on US data.
Micro red cabbage contains a mighty 103mg of vitamin C per 100g compared to full sized red cabbage at 69mg for the same amount.
