Microgreens are an exotic genre of edible greens, appearing in upscale markets and restaurants, that have gained popularity as a new culinary trend over the past few years. Although small in size, microgreens can provide a large array of intense flavors, vivid colors and tender textures.  Therefore, microgreens can be served as a new ingredient in salad, soups and sandwiches, enhancing their color, texture and/or flavor, and also can be used as edible garnish to brighten up a wide variety of main dishes.  The USDA published a study in July of 2012 comparing B Carotene, lutein, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E and other components.  Microgreens were found to have significantly higher content than their mature counterparts and in some cases over 40 times that of their mature counterparts.  A full copy of the report is available upon request.  For delicious recipes, follow us on Facebook and click on the icon to the left on this page.
