What Are Microgreens?

Small Greens With Powerful Everyday Nutrition

Microgreens are young edible greens harvested at an early stage of growth, usually just after the first leaves develop. Though small in size, they are fresh, flavorful, tender, and naturally rich in plant nutrients.

They are commonly used as a fresh addition to daily meals and are valued for their taste, texture, freshness, and concentrated nutrition.

Why they are different

Harvested earlier than fully mature vegetables

Microgreens are harvested much earlier than fully grown vegetables, during a stage when the young plant contains concentrated nutrients needed for rapid growth.

Studies have shown that some microgreens may contain significantly higher levels of certain vitamins and antioxidants compared to mature vegetables.

Because of this, microgreens are often known for having:

  • Higher nutrient concentration
  • Fresh natural flavor
  • Tender texture
  • Better freshness when consumed close to harvest
