Spicy Mustard Blend

If you are already a fan of the Wasabi Mustard Microgreens or Red Lace Mustard we offer, you will be sure to love the bold and similar spicy nature of this blend! These pungent greens (and purples!) will add a pleasant bit of heat to salads, sandwiches, or soup as a topper. One of our favorite ways to use is adding to tacos!

Health Benefits of Mustard Microgreens:

1. Rich in Vitamins and Minerals

• Vitamin C: Mustard microgreens are a good source of vitamin C, which supports immune health, skin health, and acts as a powerful antioxidant to protect the body from oxidative damage.

• Vitamin A: High in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. This is important for eye health, immune function, and maintaining healthy skin.

• Vitamin K: Helps in blood clotting and plays a role in bone health.

• Folate: Essential for cell division, DNA synthesis, and overall cell health.

• Calcium and Iron: These minerals are crucial for bone health, blood health, and proper muscle function.

2. High in Antioxidants

Mustard microgreens are rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which help neutralize free radicals in the body. Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress, which is linked to a decreased risk of chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease.

3. Anti-inflammatory Properties

Mustard microgreens contain glucosinolates, a group of sulfur-containing compounds found in cruciferous vegetables. These compounds are believed to have anti-inflammatory effects and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and certain cancers.

4. Supports Digestive Health

The fiber in mustard microgreens supports healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. A healthy digestive system is key for nutrient absorption and overall health.

5. Supports Heart Health

The antioxidants, fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds in mustard microgreens may help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and improve overall cardiovascular health. Additionally, the presence of potassium and magnesium supports healthy blood pressure levels.

6. Low in Calories and Nutrient-Dense

Mustard microgreens are low in calories but high in vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds. They are a nutrient-dense addition to any meal, offering a great way to boost nutritional intake without adding many calories.
