What are microgreens?
The term “microgreens” means tiny greens – or better to say tiny vegetable and herb plants – that are suitable for eating.
This means no waiting – you don’t have to wait for the fruit or fully grown leafy greens to eat or use in cooking. Instead, you can harvest and eat these tiny plants after just one to two weeks.
Growing microgreens is not difficult even for the newbies in the world of gardening. You can grow them on any window or terrace or in the hallway or living room. .
Microgreens are not sprouts
There is a difference between microgreens and sprouts. Seeds that have germinated are called sprouts. In such a case, tiny leaves of these seeds are already visible, but they are not yet fully developed. In contrast, microgreens are a little older and already have the leaves of the specific type of seed.
Unlike sprouts, microgreens are harvested right above the surface of the substrate. Sprouts are not grown in the substrate and are used whole.
In general, any crop, including vegetables and herbs, can be grown and eaten as microgreens or microherbs. Nightshade plants such as tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), or potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are not good to grow as microgreens because their leafy greens contain solanine, which is not edible for us at all, but is toxic.

Then for microgreens in vegetables, there are cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), peas (Pisum sativum), leafy goosefoot (Blitum virgatum), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), spring onions (Allium fistulosum), carrots (Daucus carota subspecies sativus), chard (Beta vulgaris subspecies vulgaris), pak choi (Brassica rapa subspecies chinensis), radish (Raphanus sativus var. sativus), beetroot (Beta vulgaris), red cabbage (Brassica oleracea convar. capitata var. rubra), rocket (Eruca sativa), celery (Apium graveolens var. dulce), etc.
