Growing Microgreens for Health

Microgreens, however, include a variety of edible immature greens, harvested with scissors less than a month after germination when the plants are up to 2 inches tall. Simply put, microgreens are the very young shoots of edible plants. The seedlings are harvested shortly after germination when they're highly tender, full of youthful nutrition, and packed with vibrant colour and flavour.
