What's the difference between sprouts and microgreens?
Sprouts & Microgreens may look similar, but they are actually slightly different stages of a plant's life.
A sprout is produced when a seed starts its journey of growing into adulthood. The sprout stage is 2-4 days after germination and sprouts are eaten as a whole: roots, seed and plant. Although nutritious, we don't grow sprouts due to them being more susceptible to bacteria contamination.
Microgreens are the intermediate stage between sprouts and baby greens and they grow in about 7-14 days. They will have formed the cotyledons and sometimes even their first set of true leaves, unlike sprouts. Because microgreens are grown in a medium and not directly soaking in water, microgreens are less susceptible to bacterial contamination than sprouts. Microgreens also offer more developed flavor and texture. We love them!
