Microgreens are superfoods you can grow at home. Hill explains all in this beautifully illustrated how-to. Microgreens resemble sprouts (germinated seeds) at a glance, but they are actually seedlings. Unlike sprouts, they are grown in soil and clipped at the stem once they produce two "true" leaves. They have stronger, more savory flavors and come in a great array of leaf shapes and textures. Microgreens are also remarkably nutritious. Hill, a lively advocate for these pretty little superfoods, covers every aspect of microgreen cultivation, preparation, and consumption, offering thorough instructions, helpful tips, and precise trouble-shooting. Planted in pots, herb and vegetable seedlings make very pretty houseplants. Hill identifies the many health properties of a variety of microgreens, including broccoli, flax, red radish, kale, beet, basil, parsley, and mustard and provides alluring recipes. This comprehensive microgreen handbook will be a revelation for everyone who enjoys cooking with fresh ingredients; indoor gardening; and eating locally, sustainably, and healthily.
