What are Microgreens 🌱

Microgreens are young vegetable greens, harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed and possibly with one set of true leaves. They are typically harvested 7-14 days after germination when they are approximately 1-3 inches tall. Despite their small size, microgreens pack a nutritional punch, often containing higher vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant levels than the same quantity of mature vegetables.

Microgreens offer a sustainable and nutritious option for enhancing diet and supporting environmental health.
