What are microgreens?

Microgreens are tiny young herb and vegetable seedlings that are harvested just after their cotyledon and first true leaf develop. They typically are 1 to 2 inches in length and are harvested between 1 and 3 weeks.

Why microgreens versus regular lettuce or herbs?

There are so many reasons! Because microgreens are harvested at such a young stage, they are more tender, more intense in flavor, and more nutritious than mature vegetables and herbs. In fact, studies have shown that varieties such as red cabbage, cilantro, amaranth and daikon radish have higher nutritional concentrations then their mature counterparts. In fact, one study looked specifically at Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin E and Beta Carotene and found that multiple varieties of microgreens had anywhere between 4 and 40 time more nutrients than mature plants!

How do I use microgreens?

There are so many ways! While the microgreens themselves might be too delicate to cook, that doesn’t limit their possibilities! Add them to pizza and sandwiches for a delicious crunch, sprinkle some on soups for added flavor, add a handful to a cheese platter for extra zest or simply add your favorite dressing to one of our salads. There are endless ways to enjoy microgreens and to get the nutritional, and flavorful, benefits from them.
