Choosing The Perfect Microgreens For Breakfast

Posted on June 15, 2021

Have you heard of microgreens for breakfast? If you have, are you wondering how they taste and smell? Are they as tasty as they look? To answer the last question, we must look deeper into what microgreens are. You might be surprised to know that they actually taste quite good and smell even better.

Microgreens are a type of leafy green plant commonly found in sunny areas of the garden. They are used as food for animals or as an attractive backdrop for your home. We know them more as an interesting bedding plant in your kitchen, but they are actually more nutritious than other small amounts of greens. Here are some of the main reasons why they are a great choice for growing in the morning:

Microgreens are a very fast growing plant. In fact, they can grow up to three times faster than most other vegetables. This means that you can have fresh micro greens for breakfast before you know it!

The microgreens come with large leaves. When fully grown they can have over ten inch leaves. This is larger than most other leafy vegetables, which means that you can get a good amount of greens out of each one. This makes microgreens ideal for growing in small amounts around your home.

Most plants will deteriorate over time when exposed to direct sunlight. However, microgreens are very resistant to this type of heat and do not become discolored or faded in the sun’s rays. As a result of their resistance, microgreens make a great choice for growing in the morning. If you want a quick source of greens for your morning menu, all you need to do is to spread a couple of sprigs on your plate right after waking up. They will provide you with a small amount of fresh greens for your morning meal, but you are sure to get better results using the microgreens for breakfast than you would by using spinach sprouts.

Spices are an important part of many traditional morning meals. While microgreens are an excellent alternative to spinach, they are still unique enough to stand on their own. Therefore, you might find that adding a small amount of spices to your morning plate can be a nice change from your usual favorites. You may even consider microgreens for breakfast and add them to an afternoon snack, replacing another green with spices. For example, you could replace ground beef with microgreens; serve the meat and sprinkle it with garlic powder and red pepper flakes; or you could replace your eggs with mini mushrooms and bake them sunny-side-up.

The key to growing microgreens for breakfast is making sure that you are not growing too many. When lettuce is young, it is a bit fragile, and if you are growing too many at once, they will become a little too large and sparse. The microgreens for breakfast that you choose should be firm enough in size so that they will stay intact when you pluck them from the leaves without falling to the ground. Another way to ensure that your microgreen plants for breakfast will stay intact is to allow them to grow to their full height as soon as they are plucked from the leaves. If they are allowed to grow to their full height before being picked, they will have little support and will not survive the morning meal.

When shopping for microgreens for breakfast, you should look for firm growth. This means that they are not small but not too big either. There is some variation in size of microgreens for breakfast, but most are about one inch in size. The smaller ones tend to be more fragile and difficult to eat, but the larger variety can stand on their own and are much easier to eat whole. Choose your favorite variety of microgreens for breakfast and try growing them for a few weeks to see how they fair as a grown up plant in your garden.
