What are Microgreens...?Microgreens are the young seedlings of familiar vegetables, like radishes, peas, and even sunflowers! They grow very quickly, maturing from first seed in only two weeks. Despite their size and shape, they are very nutritious and taste just like the full vegetable. The taste will surprise you!
Our participants grow all our microgreens as part of our horticulture training program. Together we sell these microgreens at the Port Credit Farmer's Market (see below). |

Did You Know... microgreens are super healthy for you!
This article from Maryland Today breaks down a study by the University of Maryland showing that microgreens have more nutrients than their standard vegetable counterparts!
Recent research shows that “super” might be an accurate description. In a study published in ACS Food Science & Technology, scientists from the University of Maryland and the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in nearby Beltsville, Md., found that kale and broccoli microgreens grown both in windowsills and in commercial growing conditions are rich in phytonutrients.
