This book provides a comprehensive overview on production processing and utilization of microgreens in light of their popularity among health-conscious consumers, along with detailed information on the nutritional and functional importance of microgreens. The text promotes an understand of the basic concepts of microgreens cultivation, post harvest handling, processing techniques and value chain operations including growing, processing (harvesting, post-harvest handling and pest and disease management) and shelf life management. The basic aspects of microgreens as functional foods and their utilization such as culinary uses, salad dressings, product development and other potential food applications are covered in full. Microgreens: Production, Processing and Utilisation studies current market trends and opportunities for the microgreen industry. The book provides information about developments in the field of microgreens as functional food in the last decade. Microgreens contain a variety of phytonutrients in concentrations usually higher than sprouts and baby greens and require less growing space with 15-20 days of growth period and thus has emerged as potential superfoods with numerous health benefits in the last decade.

This book adopts a language- and culture -as-resource approach and broadens our understanding of diversity which may be observed, heard, and felt in today's mathematics and statistics classrooms. It draws on significant approaches to improving teaching and learning in mathematics and statistics education in multilingual and multicultural settings. It also presents and discusses critical research work from a range of geographical contexts from five continents. Research from Asia-Pacific contexts as well as from a few countries which are often underrepresented in the mathematics education research field is particularly highlighted in this book. This book summarizes the state of research in mathematics and statistics education providing empirical research, and showcases different theoretical and methodological perspectives, to inform implications for policy and practice in mathematics and statistics classrooms.
