Microgreens are the perfect crop for new gardeners and old hands alike. For new gardeners they offer almost instant results and near-guaranteed success. For gardeners who have been around the block a few times they are a great way of growing familiar crops in a different way, to harvest maximum flavour and nutrients. They can also be sown indoors throughout the winter, making for a great crop when all else is dormant, but gardening enthusiasm is still high.
Microgreens are tiny seedlings, sown thickly, and harvested young. The main reason to grow them is for the incredible flavor. Microgreens taste like a concentrated version of their grown-up selves, without the baggage that accrues with maturity: there is little bitterness and a strong clear flavor. They also look good, and are often used by chefs to add a sprinkling of color to their dishes.
