Yes, we are growing cantaloupe microgreens! Since they are taller and bigger than our other varieties of microgreens, we refer to them as shoots, as we do with the sunflower and pea varieties.

Some of the nutrients found in cantaloupe shoots include vitamins A, B3, C, and K; antioxidants; potassium; calcium; magnesium; manganese; phosphorus; copper; selenium; and zinc. We plan on growing them throughout the winter months as well so you can experience “a taste of late summer” throughout the year.
