Fastest way to find even more “nutrient verification” papers yourself (without getting buried in fluff)

• Use PubMed and search phrases like:
  microgreens (HPLC OR LC-MS OR ICP-MS) 2025
  microgreens vitamin C carotenoids tocopherol 2025
  microgreens mineral composition ICP-MS 2025

• Use Google Scholar and filter by “Since 2025”, then add method keywords (HPLC, LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, UHPLC).

The pattern you’ll notice, the strongest “nutrition verification” papers almost always advertise their measurement tech right in the abstract, because that’s the whole flex.
