Microgreens are young, edible seedlings of vegetables and herbs harvested just after the first true leaves develop, typically 7–21 days after germination. These tiny greens are nutrient-dense, flavorful, and visually appealing, making them popular in culinary and health-conscious markets.

Microgreens are grown from a wide variety of plants, including broccoli, radish, kale, arugula, basil, cilantro, and sunflower. They are versatile, easy to grow, and thrive in controlled environments like hydroponic systems.
