Description

Microgreens are the name given to the small, soft, green parts of plants that develop from seedlings and do not bear any real leaves. These microgreens are known to have high nutritional content and are composed of phytoconstituents such as carotenes, phenolics and polysterols which allow for their usage in dietary programs. Legumes provide high nutritional value by enhancing dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals, and are one of the most important sources of plant protein in the human diet. Leguminous microgreens can play a significant role in fulfilling the nutritional requirement of world’s population and will assist in completing the United Nations' global goal of 'zero hunger' (Sustainable Development Goal 2).
 
Recent Trends and Applications of Leguminous Microgreens as Functional Foods provides an in-depth look at the development of leguminous microgreens, such as chickpea, lentils, beans and peas. It covers potential germplasm containing high iron and zinc levels; biomass and nutritive traits that can be used to produce a bio-fortified functional food with appropriate proportions of nutritive components. The book also discusses the increasing interest in production and consumption of microgreens due to their nutritional content, yield rate, rapid production time frame and aroma qualities among other factors. The book also covers management methods for production of biofortified food through conventional, molecular and biotechnological approaches such as hydroponics and aquaponics systems. Additionally, it contains assessments on safety during storage as well information on how to develop value-added products that can supplement food needs/requirements. This book is a valuable tool for anyone looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of this growing sector within agriculture and will provide readers with all they need to know about developing leguminous microgreens for enriched functional foods.
