What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are a tiny form of edible greens produced from the seeds of vegetable, herbs or other plants.
They are not the same as sprouts. Microgreens are grown in soil or on a micro mat growing pad to a stage of development in between a sprout and a baby green. Microgreens have much stronger, more developed flavors than sprouts.
They contain their dense nutritional value but are topped off with an extra boost of life sustaining chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is defined as “nature’s greatest healer” since it contains more healing properties than any other element.
How Do I Use Microgreens?
Microgreens are an ever-growing trend in home cooking, urban farming, and for chefs around the country. People worldwide are drawn to microgreens for their beauty, flavor, and health benefits.
Learning how to use microgreens in more ways will add vitamins, minerals and flavor to your food.
Flavor Profiles
What do microgreens taste like?
They hide their flavor. Each microgreen vegetable has its own unique taste. Most have a taste or an aftertaste identical to the mature plant. But they have a wider taste profile.
“Tasting” involves more than just the five (or seven depending on who you listen to) basic tastes that your tongue is sensitive to sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. And how you thought you tasted with your tongue, it’s all wrong.
You use four of your five senses tasting microgreens: sight (they have a range of colors), smell (some are pungent), feel (with your tongue), and taste.
So, the next time you try microgreens at a restaurant, at home, at a friend’s, and someone asks you, “What do microgreens taste like?”, this next page will show you how to taste them and help you answer that question.
