Microgreens are vegetable greens harvested just after the
cotyledon leaves have developed. Because microgreens
are a unique plant type, many people might think that they
need a special kind of seed. But microgreens can be
produced from almost any kind of standard seed chosen,
although some seeds are more recommended than others.
For example, vegetable and herb plants are more often
grown as microgreens than other types of plants. There
are over 80 different microgreen crop varieties for
gardeners to choose from, vegetable and herb species to
flowers.
- Most microgreens are derived from vegetable
seeds. This is because they are a little more versatile
and can be used in most dishes for an impactful
flavour sometimes even more so that their mature,
full vegetable counterparts. For Example –
Amaranth, Mustard, Onion, Peas, Radish, Broccoli,
Cabbage, Carrot, etc.
