Have you used the microgreens? How did you use them (raw salad or as a garnish)?

Correct Answer

Microgreens can be consumed raw after gently rinsing with water.

They are commonly used for garnishing salads, soups, and sandwiches. They can also be added to pizza or consumed as a healthy salad.

The microgreens should be harvested when the first true leaves appear (approximately 5-7 cm height) and cut with scissors just above the soil surface.
