Revity Farms is proud to introduce Green Chic, a delectable sesame-free hummus with microgreen sprouts that not only tastes amazing but also provides a myriad of health benefits. In a world where food allergies and dietary restrictions are increasingly common, Green Chic offers a delicious and satisfying snack without the guilt. It's vegan, gluten-free, and packed with protein, making it an excellent choice for people with dietary restrictions or those looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
What sets Green Chic apart from traditional hummus is the addition of microgreen sprouts, tiny nutrient powerhouses that deliver a concentrated dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Microgreen sprouts are young vegetable greens harvested just after the first leaves have developed. They have a higher nutrient density than their mature counterparts, providing an extra boost to your diet (1).
Incorporating microgreen sprouts into Green Chic hummus increases the overall nutrient content, adding essential vitamins and minerals that support a healthy immune system and overall well-being. These tiny greens also provide a delightful burst of flavor, making Green Chic hummus an enjoyable and nourishing snack. Research has shown that microgreens are rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and protect against chronic diseases (2).
But the benefits don't stop there. Green Chic is a sesame-free hummus, which means it's suitable for those with sesame allergies or sensitivities. Many traditional hummus recipes include tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds, as a primary ingredient. By creating a sesame-free alternative, Revity Farms ensures that more people can enjoy this delicious and nutritious snack.
Another standout feature of Green Chic is its high protein content. As a plant-based source of protein, hummus is an excellent option for vegans, vegetarians, or anyone looking to incorporate more plant-based protein into their diet. The combination of chickpeas and microgreen sprouts provides a complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids necessary for building and maintaining muscle mass (3).
Green Chic also offers a full serving of vegetables in each portion, making it an easy and tasty way to increase your daily vegetable intake. The USDA recommends adults consume between 2-3 cups of vegetables per day (4), and enjoying Green Chic as a snack or part of a meal can help you meet those guidelines.
In conclusion, Revity Farms' Green Chic hummus with microgreen sprouts is an innovative and health-conscious snack that caters to various dietary needs. Its allergy-friendly, nutrient-rich, and protein-packed nature makes it an ideal choice for maintaining a balanced and nourishing diet. So go ahead, indulge in the deliciousness of Green Chic, and give your body the nutrients it deserves!
