How to Use Microgreens in Your Daily Life

If you’re looking for a way to add more flavor, nutrition, and variety to your meals, you might want to try microgreens. Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are harvested when they are about 1-3 inches tall. They have an intense flavor and a high concentration of nutrients, making them a great addition to any diet.

But what are some ways to use microgreens in your daily life? Here are some ideas:

– Sprinkle them on salads: Microgreens can add a burst of color, texture, and flavor to any salad. You can use them as a garnish or mix them with other greens for a more interesting salad base. Some of the best microgreens for salads are radish, kale, Sunflower, and Kohlrabi greens. They have a peppery, spicy, tangy, or sweet flavor that pairs well with various dressings and toppings.

– Add them to sandwiches: Microgreens can also enhance your sandwiches by adding some crunch and freshness. You can layer them with cheese, meat, eggs, or veggies for a delicious sandwich filling. Some of the best microgreens for sandwiches are Radish, broccoli, and kale greens. They have a mild flavor that complements any sandwich ingredients.

– Blend them into smoothies: Microgreens can also boost your smoothies by adding some extra vitamins and antioxidants. You can blend them with fruits, yogurt, milk, or juice for a refreshing smoothie. Some of the best microgreens for smoothies are spinach, amaranth, wheatgrass, and basil greens. They have a green or herbal flavor that blends well with sweet fruits.

– Stir-fry them with other veggies: Microgreens can also be cooked lightly and added to stir-fries or other dishes. You can sauté them with garlic, oil, soy sauce,

or other seasonings for a quick and easy side dish.
