Microgreens are small, tender vegetable greens that grow to be about 1-3 inches tall. They consist of two fully developed cotyledon leaves and they are harvested within 7-14 days after germination. Due to their intense aromatic flavour and variety of colours and textures, microgreens are primarily used to enhance the colour, texture, or flavour of various foods such as pasta, pizza, omelettes, and salads. They contain several vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Foods that are high in fiber and vitamin K can be helpful in maintaining a healthy blood pressure, and microgreens are high in both of these important elements as well as other vitamins and minerals. Raw microgreens are safe to eat, just like any other vegetable, if they’re grown, handled, and processed properly. Microgreens need to be grown in a deliberate and careful way to avoid food borne illness through pathogen growth.
