Traveling with microgreens: microgreen recipes inspired by different countries
Seven dishes: shiso salad from Japan, basil bruschetta, dosa with mustard microgreens, cilantro tacos, arugula omelette, Thai noodle salad and Greek salad with beet.
Toxic compounds in microgreens: what recent studies measured in borage, sorghum and buckwheat
No human poisoning case has been reported from borage, sorghum or buckwheat eaten as microgreens. What the recent studies did measure — pyrrolizidine alkaloids, dhurrin and fagopyrin — and where the evidence stops.
Microgreens and Sports Performance: What the Studies Tested
What microgreens actually contribute to an athlete's diet, and why the sports-performance case rests on nutrient composition rather than on any trial in athletes.
Solanaceae, lectins and alkaloids: the compounds that make some microgreens toxic
Solanaceae, lectins and alkaloids explained: the natural compounds that make some microgreens toxic, and which plants you should never grow or eat as microgreens.
Antioxidants in microgreens: what studies do and do not show
What the antioxidant research on microgreens actually measures — compounds in the plant and laboratory assays — and why that is not the same as a demonstrated health benefit.
