What are Microgreens?
A microgreen is a tiny vegetable green that is used both as a visual and flavor component or ingredient primarily in fine dining restaurants. Fine dining chefs use microgreens to enhance the beauty, taste and freshness of their dishes with their delicate textures and distinctive flavors. Smaller than “baby greens,” and harvested later than “sprouts,” microgreens can provide a variety of leaf flavors, such as sweet and spicy[²].

Why is Growing Your Own Food Important
- With the amount of chemicals and pesticides being added intentionally or environmentally to our food supply, and the increase of allergies and disorders, being in control of what goes on or in you food has never been so important.
- Eating fresh food that hasn't been traveling for days, allows us to eat food with twice the nutritional value.
- With having reduced our urban footprint we are reducing the amount of pollution being pumped into our environment.
- Growing our own food saves not just our environment it also reduces our grocery bill and our gas bill.
