Which young plant leaves can be considered microgreens? 0 12

Not every young seedling is suitable for microgreens, emphasizes agronomist Victoria VOLKOVA. She notes that among the most popular types of microgreens in our country are spinach, peas, radishes, beets, arugula, cilantro, dill, broccoli, watercress, carrots, and several others.

However, for example, consuming young leaves of tomatoes or peppers can lead to poisoning, as they contain toxic substances for humans. When choosing seeds for microgreens, it is important to pay attention to the appropriate labeling on the packaging.

Young sprouts of edible vegetables and herbs, appearing after the cotyledons and the first leaves, have a high concentration of vitamins and beneficial substances.
