MICROGREENS VS SPROUTS MICROGREENS VS BABY GREENS AND SHOOTS MICROGREENS NUTRITION WATERING MICROGREENS HOW TO EAT MICROGREENS Microgreens are really just baby plants. Many of the veggies you already know and eat can be used to grow microgreens. If you harvest and consume the leaves of the plant, it can be grown and eaten as microgreens. Sprouts are germinated seeds; they are more likely to have bacterial contamination. Microgreens are a few days older than sprouts. Microgreens will have erect stems and either one or two sets of leaves. They are either cut off at ground level or they are pulled up by their roots. Baby greens and shoots are harvested from plants that are a little older than microgreens. If both baby greens and shoots are harvested at the same stage of growth, baby greens are usually harvested for the leaves whereas shoots are harvested with the leaves and stem. Compared to baby greens, microgreens will be smaller and more immature. There is no “official” definition of these terms. There are some studies which demonstrate that the nutrient density of microgreens is substantially higher than the adult plant. This is really exciting because it is scientific proof that you can grow healthier food in your house than you can buy in the grocery store! Microgreens are ready to harvest in 1–2 weeks, so you can have a continuous supply of healthy ingredients simply by starting a new tray of microgreens on your kitchen counter every couple of weeks. Water plays a very important role in the growth and flavour of your microgreens. Chlorinated water can lead to microgreens that taste like a swimming pool. If you find that’s the case, try filtering your water through a charcoal filter before watering. If you use soil or compost to grow microgreens, then you probably won’t have to worry too much about the pH of your water. But if you grow on a hydroponic grow mat, then the pH of your water has a much bigger impact on the growth of microgreens. Microgreens are best eaten fresh and used as a garnish. It’s super convenient to have them growing in your kitchen. Basil microgreens make a great addition to pasta salads, lettuce microgreens are great with fish. Microgreens are very delicate and do not do well when heated. You should not try to cook the microgreens, rather just sprinkle them like food confetti on your completed dishes.
