What Are Microgreens?

Microgreens are the tender, young seedlings of vegetables and herbs—harvested just after the first true leaves develop. These tiny greens are packed with intense flavor and concentrated nutrients, often containing higher vitamin and antioxidant levels than their mature counterparts. At Local Grown, we harvest our microgreens fresh in Hendersonville, TN, offering a delicious, nutrient-dense way to elevate every meal.
