Wonderful article with fantastic suggestions. I personally have been incorporating microgreens in my salads, avocado toasts and smoothies to add flavor and nutritional value. Im looking forward to trying some of these new suggestions. Thank you!

I have been growing micro greens for a while now and i was looking for ideas with what to put them in and this article was just perfect for me! thanks so much for sharing some great ideas!

I really loved this article. I grow microgreens quite regularly, and my favorite/consistent grows are alfalfa greens (and sprouts), radish, kale, garlic chives, and sunflower, which I’ve generally just been combining to make base salads for my proteins (goes wonderful with white fish such as cod especially). With that being said, I’ve been dying to try new things with them outside of base salads and as one-off seasonings; I am especially interested in the savory crepe idea.
