ABOUT MICROGREEN SPECIALTY CROPS

The health benefits of microgreens are significant, because of the nutrient density, the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of a rich variety of phytochemicals in microgreens. ​

 

The need for the Specialty Crop of Microgreens to be acknowledged as a viable food producing business is very much overdue. Frequently called “vegetable confetti,” microgreens are young, tender greens that are used to enhance the color, texture, or flavor of salads, or to garnish a wide variety of main dishes (Figure 1). Alone, these densely-packed nutritious crops, with intense flavors and vivid colors, are rapidly increasing in popularity to become the major part of the main dish.

How do I know if growing microgreens is for me?

To determine if growing microgreens is for you, consider starting small. Purchase a microgreen growing kit or a few seed varieties and give it a try. This hands-on experience will help you assess if you enjoy the process and are satisfied with the results. It’s a low-risk way to explore whether microgreen cultivation aligns with your interests and lifestyle.
