Microgreens
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are harvested just after the first true leaves have developed. They are typically harvested at about 2.5-7.5 cm tall. Microgreens are known for their intense flavours, vibrant colours, and high nutritional content. They can be grown from a variety of seeds, including herbs, vegetables, and even some grains.
Characteristics of Microgreens:
Size: Small, tender, and delicate plants, usually around 1-3 inches tall.
Flavour: Intense and concentrated flavours, often more pronounced than their mature counterparts.
