What are microgreens?

Micro greens are the seedlings of vegetables and herbs. Once the seed of an herb or vegetable begins to grow, it is considered a sprout. Once the sprout begins to grow, the baby plant is considered a micro green.

Sprouts and micro greens are not one and the same. Sprouts are usually grown in water and harvested within 2-3 days while micro greens are grown in soil, require sunlight, and are harvested after  1-3 weeks of growing time, when they are about 2 inches tall.

Some tips for adding micro greens into meals include:

• using them as a topping for salads and soups
• tossing a small handful into a smoothie or juice before blending
• using them as a garnish alongside any main dish
• placing micro greens on top of a flatbread or pizza after cooking
• adding micro greens into an omelet or frittata
• replacing lettuce with micro greens on a burger, sandwich, or tacos
