German researchers tracked 234 people with prediabetes who didn't lose weight—some even gained pounds. Yet 22% reversed their condition anyway. The secret? Their bodies stored new fat under skin instead of around organs. These folks improved both insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. The payoff: 71% lower chance of developing diabetes over the next decade.

Central Luzon State researchers tested four methods. Bottom watering produced 91.35g fresh weight—nearly double the control group. Roots access nutrients directly while tops stay dry, preventing mold.

Research teams analyzed dozens of varieties. Cilantro microgreens packed 39 times more beta-carotene than mature cilantro. Red cabbage delivered six times more vitamin C.
