Microgreens are basically immature greens, harvested less than a month after germination when the plants are very small. The stem and leaves are both edible and they add wonderful color, texture, and flavor to a variety of foods as a garnish or ingredient.
Microgreens are big on nutrition and flavor, and can be expensive to purchase. You can easily grow your own if you have a sunny area in your home, a shallow container, some potting mix, and microgreens seeds.
