Cilantro Microgreens

9. March 2024

When it comes to superfoods, Cilantro microgreens are a powerhouse of nutrients. These tiny greens not only have an amazing flavor, they also offer great health benefits.

Nutritional Powerhouses

Cilantro microgreens, scientifically known as Coriandrum sativum, are the tender, young seedlings of the cilantro plant. They are packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene, quercetin and flavonoids, which all helps reduce oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. You also find essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and manganese, which supports bone health, support the immune system, and enhance overall vitality. 

How to use Cilantro Microgreens

You can practically use them in just about any dish, but here is a few of my favorite ways to use them:

Garnish
Sprinkle cilantro microgreens over your favorite salads to add a fresh, lemon peppery flavor and a ton of nutrients. When it comes to tacos, wraps and pasta dishes, they make a fantastic garnish, adding both flavor, a vibrant color and good nutrition. Try mix the cilantro with other herbs like basil or chive for extra flavor.

Smoothies
Add a handful of Cilantro Microgreens to your morning smoothie to get extra liver and digestive support. They pair well with fruits like mango and pineapple.

Salsas
Swopping full grown cilantro with the microgreens version when making your favorite salsa, will give you a much more flavorful result as the flavor is so much more powerful in the microgreens version.

Soups and Stews
Also adding to your homemade soups and stews just before serving gives you that extra pop of color as well as a fresh lemon peppery flavor.
If you have a lot of Cilantro microgreens, you can make a super delicious Cilantro soup.

Detoxification

One of the standout benefits of cilantro microgreens is their remarkable ability to support detoxification. These tiny greens are packed with compounds like coriandrin, quercetin, chlorophyll, and various polyphenols, which play a crucial role in helping the body eliminate heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and aluminum, as well as toxins like pesticides and herbicides. Acting like magnets, these compounds attract and bind to toxins, facilitating their removal from the body and making the detoxification process more efficient.

Moreover, cilantro microgreens contribute to liver health by enhancing the detoxification capabilities of this vital organ. A healthy liver is essential for overall well-being, as it filters and processes toxins from the blood, ensuring that the body remains free from harmful substances.
So don’t hesitate to add a lot of these little powerhouses to your meals 🙂
