Microgreens: All You Ever  Wanted to Know, Plus How to Grow Them


Since their introduction to the Californian restaurant scene in the 1980s, microgreens have steadily gained popularity.


These aromatic greens, also known as micro herbs or vegetable confetti, are rich in flavor and add a welcome splash of color to a variety of dishes.


Despite their small size, they pack a nutritional punch, often containing higher nutrient levels than more mature vegetable greens. This makes them a good addition to any diet.

This article reviews the potential health benefits of microgreens and provides a step-by-step guide on how to grow your own.


What Are Microgreens?

Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) tall.


They have an aromatic flavor and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colors and textures (1).


Microgreens are considered baby plants, falling somewhere between a sprout and baby green.


That said, they shouldn’t be confused with sprouts, which do not have leaves. Sprouts also have a much shorter growing cycle of 2–7 days, whereas microgreens are usually harvested 7–21 days after germination, once the plant’s first true leaves have emerged.


Microgreens are more similar to baby greens in that only their stems and leaves are considered edible. However, unlike baby greens, they are much smaller in size and can be sold before being harvested.


This means that the plants can be bought whole and cut at home, keeping them alive until they are consumed.


Microgreens are very convenient to grow, as they can be grown in a variety of locations, including outdoors, in greenhouses and even on your windowsill.
