Microgreens are tiny garden plants that are harvested and eaten when they are still juveniles. They are grown in trays like grass on counter-tops and tables, using a hydroponic medium or soil. They are ready to harvest in about 10 days, which entails cutting their stems just above the soil or growth medium and rinsing. Think of microgreens as teenage sprouts, packed with nutrients and flavor!

Microgreens have been gaining increasing popularity since 1991 because they are easy to grow and maintain, and they are a lot of fun to experiment with culinarily.
