Microgreens are young plants that are harvested just a few weeks after germination when they are only a few inches tall. They are grown from a variety of vegetables, herbs, and other plants, and are packed with nutrients and flavor. Microgreens are usually harvested just after the first true leaves have appeared, but before they fully mature into adult plants.

Microgreens have gained popularity in recent years due to their nutritional value and versatility in the kitchen. They are typically grown in shallow trays  with a growing medium such as soil, coconut coir, or hydroponics, and are harvested by snipping off the top of the plant with scissors or a knife.

Microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and are a great source of fiber and protein. They are often used as a garnish for salads, soups, and other dishes, or as a flavor and nutrient boost for smoothies and juices.
