Purple Mix is a blend of red cabbage and red rambo radish. Brassicas, also know as cruciferous vegetables, contain high levels of vitamin C, A, E, K, as well as folate, calcium, iron, B-6, thiamine, potassium and phosphorus. They are a good source of dietary fibre and and those all important cancer-fighting glucosinolates and isothiocyanates. The highly concentrated levels of sulforaphane in young brassica greens can prevent DNA damage that leads to cancer, and may prevent inflammation that can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. According to the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry red cabbage microgreens had 40 times more vitamin E and six times more vitamin C than mature red cabbage. Vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin E levels were highest among red cabbage and radish microgreens. We use a diluted sea salt solution that contains a full spectrum of trace minerals to water our greens. When plants take in these inorganic minerals, they add a carbon atom to them, making them organic. You then benefit from receiving these trace minerals in their bio-available organic form. This microgreens mix can be used in salads, sandwiches, wraps or as a garnish.
