These tiny greens are definitely edible. They are simply a smaller form of the edible greens you are, or should be, eating and commonly find in your grocer’s cooler.

They come from the seeds of vegetables, herbs, as well as other plants.

Most are not more than two inches in length, though they do have both stems and leaves.

What will you get from them? A simple bite into one and you will experience intense flavor, especially if the greens are organic. In other words, they taste great.

However, there is much more to microgreens than just this. As greens, they have a high level of beta-carotene in them. Though each variety has a different makeup, you can expect these to be nutrient-rich foods.

Finding Great Microgreens
For those who would like to take advantage of all of the nutrients and great taste offered by microgreens, you
have options. You can purchase them directly from suppliers. Most suppliers, though, work directly with restaurants.

Some do offer options for direct buying, especially online.

On the other hand, why not grow them yourself?

Requiring just a small amount of space, growing them yourself helps you ensure there is no risk of anythingm but organic elements present. Organically grown microgreens are the ideal choice.

Microgreens are not new. For many people, they are the ideal accompaniment to a recipe or the perfect choice for a green smoothie. Consider what these greens have to offer you.
