Our Role as Brand Ambassadors
Becoming brand ambassadors for ‘From Our Garden’ is an honour and a responsibility we take seriously. Our role involves promoting their microgreens through various channels, including social media, blog posts, and community events. We aim to educate our audience about the benefits of microgreens and how incorporating them into your diet can lead to a healthier lifestyle.
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 2.5–8 cm tall. They have an aromatic flavour and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colours and textures. Studies have shown that microgreens contain 4 to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts, making them a powerful addition to any meal. As brand ambassadors, we will share recipes, health tips, and stories from ‘From Our Garden’ to inspire you to add these tiny but mighty greens to your diet.
Why Choose Microgreens?
Microgreens are not only a trendy addition to gourmet dishes but also a powerhouse of nutrition. Here are three compelling reasons why you should consider incorporating microgreens into your diet:
Nutrient Density: Microgreens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are harvested at a young stage, which means they retain a higher concentration of nutrients compared to fully grown vegetables. For instance, broccoli microgreens are known to contain high levels of vitamins C, E, and K, as well as beneficial compounds like sulforaphane, which has anti-cancer properties.
Versatility in Cooking: Microgreens can be used in a multitude of ways in the kitchen. Their vibrant colours and unique flavours can enhance the visual appeal and taste of your dishes. Whether you sprinkle them on salads, blend them into smoothies, or use them as a garnish for soups and sandwiches, microgreens add a burst of freshness and nutrition to any meal.
Easy to Grow and Eco-Friendly: Growing microgreens is a sustainable practice that requires minimal resources. ‘From Our Garden’ exemplifies this by cultivating their greens in an eco-friendly manner. By supporting local micro-farms like ‘From Our Garden,’ you are contributing to a more sustainable food system. Additionally, you can even try growing microgreens at home with minimal space and effort, making it an accessible option for urban dwellers.
