🌱 From Kitchen Mistake to Culinary Star! A Microgreens Culinary History✨

Did you know microgreens started by accident in a San Francisco kitchen in the early 1980s? A chef ordered baby greens—his grower delivered tiny seedlings instead. The result? A global culinary revolution.

By the 1990s, chefs like Craig Hartman and Michael Clark were experimenting with these colorful shoots as they delivered intense flavors and vivid colors that traditional garnishes couldn’t match. In 1998, the term “microgreens” was officially coined in the USA.

But the real game-changer came in 2012 when a USDA study found microgreens can have 4 to 40x more nutrients than mature greens by weight. Suddenly, they weren’t just pretty garnishes—they were nutrient-packed superfoods! 🥗✨

Microgreens quickly spread from fancy restaurants to grocery stores and local cafés. Today, you’ll find them topping pizzas, curries, salads, sandwiches, omelets, smoothies—and even cocktails. Tiny greens. Big impact. 💚

Interested to try them in your own culinary creations, stop by our shop at 1150-A Heron Road, Ottawa, ON.
