Clover’s Microgreens

What Are Microgreens?

Microgreens are plants harvested once the cotyledon leaves are fully developed and just as (or before) the first true leaves develop. This is the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage. Microgreens are purposefully utilized in their most nutritious state.

How Can I Use Fresh Microgreens?

We’re so glad you asked! Some of our favorite ways to utilize them are:

• Let them be the star! A mix of greens, some olive oil, your favorite vinegar and some feta cheese makes an amazing side.
• Sandwiches & Wraps — choose your favorite microgreen and pack as much as you can, the texture and flavor will set that sandwich game on fire!

I am the Owner-Operator of Clover’s Microgreens. Like many of you I had tried sprouts before but had never heard of “microgreens.” Once I discovered them I noticed them always being used as a garnish, or for sale at high end grocery stores for top dollar. But I could not find a local supplier here in the Valley so started the research train, and for two years I dug in and learned all I could. Once I felt confident I decided to give it a whirl for my own consumption. I learned a lot in the first few months, so I decided I was in love with this idea of providing a clean healthy eating food to my family and decided to share with you!
