Measurement of phytochemical content and nutritional characteristics of microgreens grown in high altitude region of India

Microgreens grown and consumed at high altitudes can help inhabitants with nutritional security. A study on the measurement of phytochemical content and nutritional characteristics of nine (i.e. radish, cabbage, broccoli, beetroot, peas, mung beans, sunflower, garden orche, and buckwheat) microgreens grown in high-altitude regions of India was carried out to understand their nutritional richness and diversity. The phytochemical analysis for 26 parameters, including proximate, essential elements, and vitamins, was performed using standard methods. The nutrient content
