Microgreens can be consumed in many ways and the more you become familiar with their tastes, you will know what to pair them with.
Cooking Microgreens
There are many ways to cook microgreens, however, cooking microgreens will destroy some of their nutrients. Stir frying is one way to keep as many of the nutrients and vitamins as possible.
*Note - Microgreens eaten raw contain the highest levels of nutrients and are full of flavor.
JUCING Microgreens
Adding microgreens to your routine juicing or smoothies can be an excellent nutritional boost.
Wheatgrass is one of the the most common microgreens used for juicing. None as “liquid gold,” wheatgrass juice equates to approximately 1.5 pounds of leafy green vegetables. Wheatgrass is gluten-free.
STORING Microgreens
Different microgreens stay fresh for different lengths of time. We have had great results storing our greens in an air tight container in the refrigerator. When stored properly, microgreens can stay fresh for around 7-10 days, but many can last up to 2 weeks. If you notice any signs of spoiling you should discard them.
