Can you eat microgreens raw?
The short answer is YES! Eat them like any salad green.
In fact, eating them raw is best because it allows you to retain their vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Many fresh (raw) microgreens have special combinations of vitamins and minerals particular to that plant species, be sure to try a variety of microgreens to boost nutrients across the board!
Microgreens have a fresh vibrant flavour and crisp texture. Eating them raw means you get to enjoy this abundant taste experience to the full. Cooking microgreens wilts them or breaks them down until you barely notice them meaning you miss out on their pop and zest that makes a microgreens dish special. Each microgreens variety has a unique flavour profile and eating them fresh is the best way to savour these tiny powerhouses.
Lucky microgreens can be stored on any bright bench or shelf indoors, cutting what you need when you need it. Cut microgreens can be stored in a plastic ziplock bag in the fridge.
