Sprouts, microgreens, baby greens—they're all the same, are they not? Aren't they all baby versions of their mature counterparts?
Well, the answer is yes and no... Yes they are all baby versions of mature plants, but no, they are not the same :-)
Microgreens are an intermediate stage between sprouts and baby greens. To make it more simple, sprouts are 2 to 5-day-old, microgreens are 7 to 14-day-old, and baby greens are 3 to 4-week-old plants.
Still, while they may appear similar at first glance, sprouts and microgreens differ significantly in terms of growth methods, taste, nutrition, and usage.
In this blog, we’ll have a look at sprouts vs. microgreens, discovering all their differences and helping you decide which might be better for your health and culinary needs!
