Sprouts vs Microgreens
Sprouts vs Microgreens - We are different
Microgreens are grown in soil; sprouts germinate in water
- The leaves and stems of microgreens can be eaten; the “stem” and seed of sprouts can be eaten
- Microgreens take around one to three weeks to grow, depending on the variety; sprouts take under a week to grow
"Microgreens are characterized by high content of carotenoids and chlorophylls, and organic acid, without any sugars, exhibiting higher anti-diabetic and anti-cholinergic activity than sprouts." PubMed Central
