    MicroGreens - FAQ
    Q - What is the difference between Microgreens, Sprouts & Baby Salad Greens?
    A - They different stages of a plant's growth:
    Sprouts
    – Sprouts are the first stage of a seed’s development and are generally grown without a growing medium (soil), but are sprouted and rinsed in a sprouting tray, jar or bag.  They are usually eaten soon after the seeds germinate and are delicious and crunchy.
    Micro Greens
    – Micro greens are typically grown is soil or other growing medium and are the second stage of a plant’s life, where roots establish themselves and the first leaves (called cotyledons) appear.  Micro greens are harvested at this stage before the true leaves (adult stage leaves) emerge.  Plants in the micro green stage are typically at their peak of flavor intensity and have had the opportunity to absorb trace elements and micro nutrients from the soil.
    Baby Salad Greens
    – Baby greens are allowed to grow for a week or two beyond the micro green stage when the true leaves have emerged.  Baby greens are harvested while they are still juvenile plants.  The flavors are much closer to their full adult stage, and they have had ample opportunity to absorb more micro nutrients from the soil.
