Microgreens are young edible plant shoots harvested at an early stage of their development, typically after 7 to 21 days of growth, just after the first true leaf appears. These small plants are rich in nutrients and intense flavors. They can be grown from a variety of seeds, such as vegetables, herbs, or even edible flowers, and are often used in salads, garnishes, or smoothies. Microgreens are popular due to their high nutritional density, often containing more vitamins and minerals than their mature counterparts.
