What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the young seedlings of vegetables. These tender and delicious plants have been incorporated in dishes since the 1980s, but they have recently made a huge comeback in the culinary world. These baby plants pack a big punch in the flavour department, and are filled with beneficial vitamins, nutrients and protein.

Microgreens are the next size up from sprouts!
Microgreens are the next size up from sprouts. The first green leaf-like structures to emerge on a seedling are called the cotyledons. The seedling has one or two cotyledons, and they are not typically the same shape as the leaves on the mature plant. The leaf-like cotyledons may also be different colors such as purple or red. These baby plants are harvested for eating when the first leaf after the cotyledons, or the first true leaf, emerges. Many edible plants make excellent microgreens, including plants whose greens are not often consumed, such as carrots.
