What are microgreens?
Microgreens are vegetable greens harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed. They are used as a nutrition supplement, a visual enhancement, and a flavor and texture enhancement. Microgreens can add sweetness and spiciness to foods, and an overall flavor that is nutritious.
How do I keep my micros fresh?
Keep microgreens between paper towels, and make sure they are cold and covered in a resealable bag or container. Wrapped this way, they'll last in the fridge for over a week or two depending on the greens.
