Microgreens and mature veggies differ in nutrients, but both might limit weight gain

Young vegetables known as microgreens are reputed to be particularly good for health. Now, researchers are trying to find out whether microgreens—which can easily be grown at home—are the superfood they’re claimed to be, and how they compare to mature veggies. Results to date show their nutritional profiles differ, as do their effects on gut bacteria. Yet, tests in mice suggest that both microgreen and mature vegetables can limit weight gain.
