The Benefits of Consuming Microgreens
These tiny yet potent greens deliver a significant nutritional benefit. Size isn’t always an advantage, especially in the case of vegetables.
Mixed Microgreens, which are the young sprouts of edible plants and herbs, measure less than 3 inches in height. However, they offer more than just a visually appealing addition to dishes. These tiny plants are loaded with intense flavors. The flavor profile changes and can range from sweet to spicy, earthy to bitter, depending on the type of vegetable.
“It’s possible to cultivate microgreens from any kind of herb or vegetable. In fact, some individuals even cultivate grains (such as oats and wheat) or legumes (such as lentils) as microgreens.”
