What are microgreens?

​Microgreens are the early seedling growth of vegetables and herbs. They are most often harvested and eaten within the first 3" of beginning growth. They are more nutrient packed at this early stage of growth than as a fully mature plant, making them an excellent, healthy and tasty addition to any meal. 

Microgreens come in a wide range of flavors ranging from neutral to bitter to even spicy depending on the variety of plant. However, all of their flavors are described as bold and concentrated.
