Microgreens are vegetable greens (not to be confused with sprouts or shoots) harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed (and possibly with one set of true leaves). Microgreens have fully developed cotyledon leaves and usually one pair of very small, partially developed true leaves. Microgreens are grown or purchased by people focused on nutrition, or else are used as both a visual and flavor component, primarily in fine dining restaurants. Unlike most other specialty food crops, microgreens are easy to grow, and can be ready to sell in just ten to twenty days.
