Nutritional Benefits:
Hummus provides plant-based protein and fibre, while microgreens offer a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Packed with vegetables and whole grains, this wrap is a nutrient-dense option that will keep you feeling satisfied and energised.
Microgreens are rich in vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, and various B vitamins. These vitamins play essential roles in immune function, bone health, vision, and energy metabolism. Microgreens contain important minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. These minerals are vital for maintaining electrolyte balance, bone strength, muscle function, and overall health.**
Microgreens are loaded with antioxidants, including carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols. These compounds help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.**
Microgreens are abundant in phytonutrients, plant compounds that have various health benefits. For example, sulforaphane found in broccoli microgreens has been shown to have anti-cancer properties, while quercetin in radish microgreens has anti-inflammatory effects.**
Despite their small size, microgreens are a good source of dietary fibre, which aids in digestion, promotes satiety, and supports gut health.**
