Delicate greens Microgreens are delicate but mighty in terms of nutrient content

摘要

Microgreens have been on the food scene since about the 1980s. Chefs in fine-dining restaurants in California were using them as a garnish to add a splash of fresh colour or a unique dash of flavour to dishes. According to Elburn, Ill.-based Heritage Prairie Farm MicroGreens, the term "microgreen" first appeared in 1998, after foodies across the U.S. started to adopt the delicate leaves. When they hit grocery stores in the 2000s, their popularity grew. It also helped that studies began to reveal their nutritional benefits.
