 The dressing sounds pretty amazing now, doesn’t it!! Now let’s look at the main ingredients!

Microgreens

Leafy greens are a good source of beta-carotene as well as iron and calcium. Dark green leafy vegetables such as kale and chard are also high in lutein and zeaxanthin. The micro greens are four- to 40-fold more concentrated with nutrients than their mature counterparts. red cabbage microgreens had 40 times more vitamin E and six times more vitamin C than mature red cabbage. Cilantro microgreens had three times more beta-carotene than mature cilantro.

 Avocado

Avocado is considered as a unique type of fruit due to its important nutrients such as antioxidants, which are essential for a healthy diet.

Unlike most fruits that consist primarily of carbohydrates, avocado is high in healthy fats as well as other potent nutrients, making it very beneficial for your health.
