Microgreens

Growing and eating microgreens

Microgreens are germinated seeds that are allowed to grow a few centimeters before harvesting. They can be grown from the seeds of any edible plant, most common being salad type plants like lettuce, basil, kale, mustard, garlic and so on.

Densely scatter your seeds in any shallow grow medium — soil, blotting paper, kitchen paper, whatever you have on hand. Keep damp until seeds sprout. Harvest and enjoy!
