Microgreens are young, edible seedlings of vegetables and herbs that are harvested just after their first set of true leaves emerge, which are eaten along with their stems. They pack a concentrated flavor, and are often 4 to 40 times more potent than their mature versions! Microgreens are generally high in vitamins A, C, and K, rich in minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium, and contain many powerful antioxidants. They are also high in fiber which can promote healthy digestion, and their antioxidant and vitamin C content can boost immune function!
Eat your microgreens in salads, sandwiches, smoothies, or as a garnish on eggs, avocado toast, tacos, or soups!
