If you’d like to get involved with the tastiest new trend, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to planting, growing, and harvesting your own super-productive microgreens at home!
Microgreens are young food crops that are harvested as soon as they’ve dropped their cotyledon leaves and have developed their very first set of ‘true‘ leaves.
They’re also a great starting point for people who are interested in growing their own food but don’t have the space, time, money, or experience needed to nurture a full-blown veg garden.
Many consider microgreens superfoods because they pack so many nutrients, vitamins, and minerals into such tiny packets! Microgreens can be eaten uncooked, unlike other vegetables.
This means they don’t lose any of their precious nutritional value in the cooking process. Pound-for-pound, they usually have a higher nutritional value than mature vegetables, sometimes being up to six times more nutrient-dense!
