Have you heard of Microgreens yet??

Next time you go out to eat, or swing by your farmer’s market, keep an eye out for the latest trend in produce; the Microgreen! It’s the newest addition to my CSA this year, and so definitely required a little research. There isn’t much out there, not even a relevant Wikipedia page! But, here’s what I found out: Microgreens are the young seedlings (sometimes with flowers) of soon to be greens and veggies, that are harvested in under 14 days. Think of them as the “new” sprout (minus the root), except these are full of flavor, color and come in pretty much every variety you can think of, including arugula, beet, chard, radish, peas, and even kohlrabi!! Check out Green Cuisine for an extensive list. I love their bright color and find that they add a nice pop of flavor to salads. You can also use them as a garnish on any summer soup like squash or asparagus, and they would also be great to add to an omelet or quiche. Impress your friends and family by adding these to your menu this week!
