MICROGREENS: HEALTH BENEFITS, NUTRITION, AND HOW TO GROW

Microgreens are the seedlings of vegetables and herbs harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed. It can grow either in soil or water, but they need sunlight. It is the second stage of seed development. It involves the establishment of roots and the opening of its first cute leaves known as cotyledons. Leaves harvested at this stage are known as microgreens. If microgreens continue to grow then the true leaves start appearing. They can be made from just any type of vegetable or herb and harvested less than 14 days after germination.
