Table 6 Effect of soilless growing medium on antinutrient content of selected microgreens families. The results were presented as mean ± standard deviations;(n=3). The different small letters within the column indicate significant (P<0.05) differences among the microgreens and different capital letters within the column indicate significant (P<0.05) differences among the families (Amaeanthaceae, Brassicaceae, and Linaceae) among the parameters. Where, FW: Fresh weight basis.  .
