Are Microgreens the same as Sprouts?
Nope.
Microgreens are greens harvested at 7-14 days when their first true leaves have grown.
Sprouts only have seed leaves and are harvested at 3-5 days.
​
Can I eat the whole green?
Yes!
Microgreens can be eaten WHOLE and raw. In fact, most microgreens you don't want to cook so you don't lose valuable nutrients.
So go ahead, eat the leaves, stems, all of it!
