Why are microgreens and farm fresh eggs good for you?

Sunflower microgreens
Known for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture, are packed with vitamins A, B, D, E, K, and essential minerals. They contain eight essential amino acids and beneficial plant compounds like antioxidants and polyphenols, aiding in combating oxidative stress and inflammation.

Radish microgreens
A nutrient powerhouse, boasting high levels of vitamins C, copper, and folate. They’re rich in antioxidants, promoting cellular repair, and essential minerals like calcium and iron. Their distinct peppery flavor adds a unique touch to meals, making them versatile to any diet.

Farm fresh grass run eggs
Studies show that farm fresh eggs have less cholesterol and saturated fat than those purchased from the store. Additionally, they also contain 25% more vitamin E, 75% more beta carotene and up to 20 times more Omega-3 fatty acids. Our girls run on fresh grass whenever possible. Grass contains various nutrients and minerals that are significant for a chicken’s wellbeing, including calcium, magnesium, and vitamin A, and make eggs taste better.
