Microgreens 101: the tiny powerhouse
Why these baby plants beat their grown-up counterparts on flavor and nutrition.
Microgreens are the seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs, harvested 7–14 days after germination. They're packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants — often 4–40× higher concentrations than the mature plant.
Their bold flavor profiles make them a chef's secret weapon: peppery radish on tacos, sweet pea on crudo, nutty sunflower in salad. Tiny tray, huge punch.
Eat them fresh, store them in their clamshell in the fridge, and use them up within a week for peak crunch and flavor.
