Microgreens are young, edible plants harvested shortly after sprouting, typically between 7–21 days of growth. Packed with flavor, they embody the concentrated essence of various vegetables and herbs, including kale, arugula, cilantro, radish, and basil. Originating as a culinary trend in the United States during the 1980s, microgreens quickly gained worldwide popularity, especially in salads, sandwiches, and garnishes across cuisines. These tiny greens boast an impressive nutritional profile, often containing higher levels of vitamins C, E, K, and beta-carotene, along with key antioxidants and fiber compared to their mature counterparts. They support immune health, eye health, and may aid in reducing inflammation. While low in calories and virtually free of unhealthy components, microgreens should be washed thoroughly to remove potential bacteria due to their growing process. Their vibrant taste and visual appeal make microgreens a versatile and healthful addition to everyday diets.
