Microgreen seeds
Microgreen seeds are regular vegetable, herb, or flower seeds used to grow microgreens—young, edible seedlings harvested just after the cotyledon leaves develop, typically within 1-3 weeks. They’re selected for fast germination, high nutrient content, and intense flavors, ranging from spicy (arugula, radish) to mild (broccoli, kale) or nutty (sunflower). Unlike sprouting seeds, they’re grown in soil or a medium, not just water, and are cut above the root line. Common varieties include broccoli, radish, pea, and basil, often non-treated and organic for safety and quality.
