4 large eggs
1 cup buckwheat microgreens
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add mushrooms and bell pepper, sautéing until softened.
Pour the eggs into the skillet, tilting to evenly distribute, and cook until the edges start to firm up.
Sprinkle buckwheat microgreens and cheese (if using) over half of the omelette, then fold it and cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
Slide onto a plate and serve warm for a hearty breakfast.
Buckwheat microgreens are grown from Fagopyrum esculentum seed and cut young for a mild, lemony green with a tender stem. Research interest centres on the flavonoids rutin and quercetin, which rise sharply as the seed germinates. Most published work measures sprouts rather than tray-grown microgreens, so figures should be read as indicative of the germinating plant rather than of a specific harvest.
• Buckwheat is a recognised dietary source of the flavonoid rutin, and germination has been shown to raise rutin and quercetin levels well above those of the ungerminated seed.
moderate evidence• Published measurements are largely from sprouts rather than tray-grown microgreens, and values vary with cultivar, germination time, and growing conditions.
strong evidence• Buckwheat is not a cereal and contains no gluten, though shared handling and milling can introduce cross-contact.
