Microgreens Pack Macro Flavor – Recipes You’ll Love!

Microgreens are one heck of a nutritional powerhouse. Tiny edible plants that are older than a sprout, but younger than a full-grown plant, microgreens are harvested after the first “true” leaves have developed. These tiny greens are packed with nutrition: Just one ounce is equivalent to eating 1 ½ pounds of regular, mature vegetables! It makes health-sense to eat these fabulously delicate little greens, but how do you use them? Here, we’ve compiled some of our favorite blogs and recipe enthusiasts to provide some microgreen inspiration. Bon apetit!

• Always Use Raw! Never Cook!
• Serve MICROGREENS in salads, or as a salad by themselves
• Add MICROGREENS to sandwiches, wraps, or sushi
• Top a pizza with fresh, crunchy MICRO-GREENS
• Use MICROGREENS as a fresh topping on bruschetta
• Pair a MICROGREEN salad with roasted meat for a healthful meal
• Blend MICROGREENS in a fresh and healthy smoothie
