Epidemiological studies show that individuals who consume more fruits and vegetables reduce their risk of developing cardiovascular disease. But like most things, some fruits—and vegetables in particular—may be that much more beneficial in protecting cardiovascular health.
According to a recent study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, microgreens from red cabbage are able to reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors in obese individuals more effectively than mature red cabbage.
Microgreens are tender, immature plants produced from the seeds of vegetables. Previous studies have found that microgreens possess higher nutritional densities when compared to their mature counter parts. However, no studies have compared the impact of this nutritional density on reducing cardiovascular disease impact.
