Microgreens have become so popular lately. It seems like I see or hear about them everywhere. Microgreens are baby vegetable greens (or plants) that are harvested about two weeks after sprouting from their seeds. This is just after the first set of leaves develops. After I looked into what these greens were, I bought some at my local health food store. These amazing little plants are so healthy and tasty that I started growing them on my own. [Read more…]
