Frequently Asked Questions

Microgreens are young and tender greens that are harvested at an early stage of growth, typically between 7-21 days after germination. They are "living foods" that are purposefully used in their most nutritious state. These miniature versions of vegetables and herbs pack a nutritional punch, often containing higher nutrient levels than their mature counterparts. 

Microgreens are distinct from other greens primarily in their stage of growth when harvested. Here are key differences between microgreens and other types of greens:

Age at Harvest:

• Microgreens: Harvested at a very early stage, typically 7-14 days after germination, when the first true leaves appear.
• Baby Greens: Harvested slightly later than microgreens but before reaching full maturity. They have larger leaves than microgreens.
• Mature Greens: Fully grown greens that are harvested at full maturity. These are the greens commonly found in grocery stores.

Flavor and Texture:

• Microgreens: Intense and concentrated flavors, often resembling the mature plant but in a more pronounced way. Delicate and tender texture.
• Baby Greens: Flavor is more developed than microgreens but milder than mature greens. Leaves are larger and more substantial.
• Mature Greens: Developed and robust flavors. Texture is more substantial, with fully formed leaves.

Nutrient Density:

• Microgreens: Packed with concentrated nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Baby Greens: Nutrient content is more developed than microgreens but less concentrated than mature greens.
• Mature Greens: Nutrient density may be lower compared to microgreens and baby greens due to increased water content.

 No, microgreens and sprouts are different. Microgreens are harvested after the first true leaves have developed, while sprouts are typically consumed with the seed, root, and shoot.
