Microgreens are young, edible plants that are harvested just after the first true leaves have developed, typically within one to three weeks after germination.

They are more mature than sprouts, but younger than baby greens.

Microgreens are popular in gourmet cooking and are often used as a garnish or as part of salads.

They come in various types, including herbs, basil, cilantro, parsley, vegetables, arugula, radish, beet, legumes, pea shoots.

Microgreens are known for their intense flavors, vibrant colors, and high nutrient content.

 Studies suggest that they can contain higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to their mature counterparts, making them a nutrient-dense addition to meals.
