SO WHAT ARE MICROGREENS?
Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development following the sprouting stage. They are “living foods” – purposefully utilized in this hyper-nutritious and delicate state.
In the photo below, you can see sprouts on the left, microgreens in the middle, and a more mature vegetable plant on the right:
