Welp I made the effort to plant, grow and sell micros during the winter months, with not much response. So i guess I’ll be shutting down the garden until spring. See ya at Forest City Farmers Market / Colonial Village in the spring!
Happy New Year,
The Radish 😎

I grow microgreens, NOT sprouts 🤣

🌱 Sprouts vs. Microgreens: What's the Difference? 🌱

While both sprouts and microgreens are packed with nutrients, they come from different stages in a plant’s life cycle. Let’s break it down! 👇

🔸 Sprouts:

What are they? Sprouts are the seed in its germinated stage, with consumers eating both the seed and the root. They’re the very first growth of a plant.

How do they grow? Sprouts don’t need soil, light, or additional nutrients because they rely on the nutrients stored in the seed itself. They're typically grown in water, not soil.

What do they taste like? They have a crunchy, refreshing texture and a mild flavor.

Why are they sustainable? Since you eat the whole sprout (seed and root), there’s no waste, and they don’t require much to grow. 🌿

🔹 Microgreens:

What are they? Microgreens are the young plants that have grown past the sprout stage to the cotyledon stage, where the first set of leaves appear.

How do they grow? Unlike sprouts, microgreens need soil and light to thrive since they need both to start photosynthesizing to create leaves.

What do they taste like? Microgreens only grow to the first set of leaves which are typically more tender than their mature counterparts making them easier to eat raw. Since the plant is now making its own nutrients, you get the full flavour which can really pack a punch depending on the variety.

Why are they superfoods? Because they’re photosynthesizing and creating their own nutrients, microgreens are nutrient-dense containing the same amount of nutrients compared to the mature plant. This is 4 to 40 times the nutrients! 🌱

Both are tasty, healthy, and versatile in your diet, but now you can pick the right one for your needs! 🌱💚
