Abstract

The invention provides methods for producing edible plant tissue biomasses suitable for use as nutritional supplements. The seedlings are exposed to at least one metal and normal seedling growth is interrupted prior to the eleventh day following germination to thereby produce a metal-enriched plant seedling tissue biomass. The metal-containing edible plant tissue biomasses are also provided.
