{microgreens 🌱}
You know what?
1. Researchers have found that some microgreens like red cabbage, cilantro, and radish contain up to 40 times higher levels of vital nutrients than their mature counterparts (herbs) 🍀🌱💫
2. They should not be mistaken for sprouts. But they are young seedlings of vegetables and herbs, which include tiny greens which are harvested in less than 14 days, after germination. They are usually about 1-3 inches long and come in a rainbow of colours, which has made them popular in the recent years.
3. According to About home, you can grow any lettuce, salad green, or herb as a microgreen. But it's easy to start with a pre-packaged seed mix, and you can look for specific microgreen mixes, or simply choose a mesclun mix (salad mix) to grow as microgreens. 🌱🍁🍀🍂☘️
4. Some popular varieties to grow as microgreens include--mustard, kale, beet, greens, spinach, radish, peas, cabbage, basil, and lettuce and carrot and broccoli 🥕 🌿 🥦
5. Researcher Gene Lester, PhD, of the USDA told WebMD, "Almost all of the nutrients found in microgreens are extremely important for skin, eyes, and fighting cancer and have all sorts of benefits associated with them." 👨🏻⚕️ 👩⚕️
