WHAT ARE MICROGREENS?
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 1–4 inches tall. They have an aromatic flavor and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colors and textures. Microgreens are considered baby plants, falling somewhere between a sprout and baby green, and are typically harvested after only 7-14 days of growth.
Microgreens have on average 5 times the level of vitamins than their mature plant counterpart.
