Effects of LED lighting on the nutritional properties and microbial safety of microgreens (opens in new tab)

Microgreens are immature and nutritious seedlings, rich in micronutrients and bioactive compounds these crops are commonly grown in controlled environments. Various light sources are used during indoor growth of microgreens depending on the specific light spectrum requirements of the crop, the energy efficiency of the lighting system, and budget-oriented market availability of production systems. Light Emitting Diode (LED) treatments offer a promising opportunity for microgreen production. Th...
