Grow Nutricious, Delicious Microgreens

Microgreens Vs. Sprouts

Sprouts and microgreens look very similar, but are actually two different stages in a plant's life! Microgreens are the intermediate stage between the sprouts and the baby greens. They grow in about 7-14 days. Because microgreens are grown in a medium and not directly soaking in water, microgreens are less susceptible to bacterial contamination than sprouts. Microgreens are also often considered to offer more developed flavor and texture than sprouts. Sprouts are the beginning of growth. The sprout stage is the 2-4 days of growth after germination. With Hamama Seed Quilts, the sprout stage happens underneath the Seed Quilt cover.
