What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are young vegetable and herb seedlings harvested shortly after germination. Known for their high nutrition, vibrant flavor, and versatility, they are commonly used in salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and professional kitchens throughout Los Angeles.
Understanding Microgreens
Harvested Young.
Packed with Flavor.
Young Harvest
Harvested shortly after germination while the plants are tender and flavorful.
Wide Variety
Produced from vegetables and herbs including broccoli, radish, sunflower, pea shoots, basil, and many others.
Versatile
Used in salads, sandwiches, smoothies, grain bowls, soups, and restaurant dishes.
Fresh
Typically enjoyed fresh to preserve texture, color, and flavor.
Microgreens are harvested during the early stage of plant development, usually within one to three weeks after germination. At this point, the plants have developed their first true leaves while maintaining tender stems and concentrated flavor.
Unlike sprouts, microgreens are grown in soil or another growing medium, receive light during cultivation, and only the stem and leaves are harvested for consumption.
