Microgreens are a tiny form of edible greens produced from the seeds of vegetable, herbs or other plants. They are not the same as sprouts. Microgreens are grown in a soilless medium or on a grow mat to a stage of development in between a sprout and a baby green. Microgreens have much stronger, more developed flavors than sprouts and lack the risk of foodborne illnesses like E. coli or salmonella. They contain their dense nutritional value and carry an extra boost of life sustaining chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is defined as “nature’s greatest healer” since it contains more healing properties than any other element.

Studies have proven that microgreens contain between 4 to 40 times more vitamins, enzymes, minerals, antioxidants and beneficial properties than its equivalent product grown to maturity. https://agnr.umd.edu/news/mighty-microgreens
