Hello Reader,

Something happened this week that could change how you think about microgreens forever.

Scientists just proved that Brussels sprouts microgreens don't just disappear after you eat them. They keep working in your digestive system, blocking the proteins that speed up aging.

Even more shocking? Kohlrabi microgreens can actually slow down blood sugar spikes by stopping key enzymes in their tracks.

But here's what really caught my attention: Small farms are crushing corporate giants using nothing but smart systems. One garage operation just scaled to 36,000 square feet without massive funding.

Plus, government programs are transforming lives - turning a Welsh couple's windowsill hobby into a thriving business after a health challenge changed everything.

Want the full story behind these discoveries?
