All About Microgreens

Microgreens are tiny plants that are becoming increasingly popular due to their unique flavors, vibrant colors, and nutritional content. These miniature plants are harvested just a few weeks after germination, when they have developed their first set of true leaves, and are often used as a garnish or ingredient in salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.

Microgreens come in a wide variety of flavors and colors, ranging from spicy and tangy to sweet and earthy. Some popular varieties include kale, broccoli, red cabbage, radish, arugula, and mustard, but there are many others to choose from. They are often used by chefs to add a burst of flavor and color to their dishes, but they can also be used at home to level up your own cooking.

Despite their compact size, these tiny greens pack a serious nutritional punch. Recent studies have shown that microgreens can contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their fully grown counterparts. This is because they are harvested at such an early stage of growth when the nutrients are most concentrated. In addition, microgreens are a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect against disease and promote overall health.
