What if we told you there was a safe, healthy and easy way to enjoy fresh, homegrown Microgreens in the next 14 days? In your home.
Not a complicated process…
Even if you’ve never touched a seed before in your life.
You may be asking yourself why on earth you would ever want to grow microgreens. These tiny plants must be grown in many multiples just to barely fill your plate. Why bother with microgreens then when you can grow the full version? There must be something to this microgreen trend….
As a matter of fact, there is!
Microgreens have become a trendy and nutritious counterpart to their grown versions for many reasons. Not only do they add bold flavors and color to the plate, but they also pack additional powerful nutrients. Some folks are even making a pretty darn good living growing and selling microgreens to restaurants.
Microgreens are tiny, edible greens that are older than a sprout and
younger than a full-grown plant.
Microgreens are harvested after their first real leaves have developed before they develop into larger plants.
What’s The Difference Between Microgreens and Sprouts?
Microgreens are not sprouts. Sprouts are just germinated seeds that are eaten whole, with the seed, root, and stem still attached.
Because of the many illness-associated cases of food poisoning from sprouts, the FDA now has guidelines that sprout producers must follow.
Sprouts are grown in water, which is a high moisture, low light environment that can encourage the growth of harmful bacteria as well.
Microgreens are produced in soil or a sterile medium such as a fiber mat. They require plenty of light, low humidity, and good air circulation. The seed density is small compared to sprouting, which allows plenty of room for each tiny plant to grow and develop. At harvest, they are cut and packed without any roots.
Types of Microgreens that can be Grown at Home
There are more than 100 species of microgreens that can be grown at home, including some that are commercially available. Here are a few examples.
Adzuki Bean Micros.
The leaves are big and crunchy, and people use them to replace lettuce.
Barley Micros
Barley microgreens, or sprouted barley, are more often being used as fodder for livestock. House pets such as dogs and cats love munching on these types of microgreens, And it’s totally fine. Also, it may not be so popular because of the slightly grassy taste as opposed to other microgreens.
Alfalfa Shoots
Alfalfa, or “alpha-alpha,” in Arabic “al-fac-facah,” means father of all foods, are popular types of microgreens loved by many people. It has a rather mild and nutty flavor and often be added to salad or sandwiches for an extra kick.
Brussell Sprouts
Brussel sprout microgreens are thin and slender. They grow quickly within days and are pretty easy to maintain. However, it’s not as popular as others due to the bitter aftertaste like broccoli (brassica vegetable). For growing, you can use either the soil or hydroponic method to grow them, both work fine for me.
True Leaf is a great source of Micro Green Seeds and information.
