Microgreens

Microgreens have gained immense popularity in the culinary world in recent years. These tiny greens, packed with flavor and nutrition, have carved a niche for themselves in the kitchens of both professional chefs and home cooks alike. But what exactly are microgreens, and why have they become such an important ingredient?

What are Microgreens?

Microgreens are young vegetable greens, harvested at an early stage of growth, typically when they have developed their first set of true leaves. These miniature versions of fully grown vegetables are often no more than one to three inches in height, with delicate stems and vibrant, colorful leaves. They are grown from various edible plant seeds, including herbs, vegetables, and greens such as radishes, beets, kale, spinach, and cilantro.
