Microgreens are seedlings and shoots of vegetables, grains and herbs with edible stems, cotyledons, or seed leaves, and true leaves. They are very small in size and can be grown locally at home or in small commercial facilities and harvested using small-scale equipment. Microgreens have an intense aromatic flavor and are a rich source of various essential nutrients, such as antioxidants, protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber. They include numerous plant families and can be used for growing cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, dill, garlic, onion, amaranth, quinoa, beet, spinach, cucumber and melon. In comparison to vegetable sprouts, the roots and seeds of microgreens are not consumed. Regular consumption of microgreens can aid in preventing chronic medical ailments, managing weight, enhancing immunity and promoting mental well-being.
