Okay, so what is a microgreen?

Microgreens are vegetable shoots harvested just after the cotyledon (seed) leaves have developed, with possibly one or two sets of true leaves. They are larger than sprouts (think of mung beans in a jar) but smaller than what the supermarkets class as “baby leaves” like spinach and rocket.

I’ve been growing these for a few months now after two of my friends over in Canada put me on to them – and I tell you what, they are delicious. They have a WOW factor to them that livens up a salad or indeed any dish they are served with.

I uploaded a start to finish video on my YouTube Channel and I’ve put a link to it at the end of this blog.
