Microgreens are baby vegetables harvested just days after sprouting. You can get a pack of microgreens from Amazon (here), your local grocery store of from a farm subscription service.

Microgreens are the unsung champions of easy health wins. They pack more nutrients than their full-grown versions. A handful of microgreens contain up to 40 times the vitamins found in mature leaves.

The kitchen is where microgreens shine. Add them raw to sandwiches for crunch. Toss them into your morning eggs right before serving. They wilt fast with heat, so add them last. Blend them into smoothies for a nutrient boost. Scatter them over soups, salads, or tacos like confetti.

Store microgreens between damp paper towels in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for a week in your fridge. Don’t wash them until you’re ready to eat.

Start with a variety pack to see what you like. Mild varieties like sunflower or pea shoots taste sweet and nutty. Move to spicier ones like radish or arugula as you get bold. Mix different types for color and flavor.

Microgreens also make every dish look professional, on top of health wins. They add color, texture, and fresh flavor. Even a simple slice of toast becomes worthy of a share with a scatter of microgreens on top.
