Did you know microgreens were originally called “vegetable confetti”? Before the word “microgreens” even existed, chefs in San Francisco in the early 1980s were scattering tiny young seedlings across high-end restaurant plates as edible garnish. The name stuck — purple kohlrabi, bright green broccoli, deep red amaranth tossed across a dish literally looked like confetti.
The word “microgreens” wasn’t coined until 1998. They hit retail in the early 2000s and grocery stores around 2010. Today, they’ve gone from exclusive chef ingredient to something everyday people grow right on their kitchen counter. 🌱

Sprouts
So much vegetable confetti
I know they are really nutritious but aren't seeds pretty expensive when you eat only the sprout? I mean, in contrary to a whole cauliflower… You wouldn't have to use as much soil or fertiliser but then you do use electricity… Does that add up? Just curious
Bring it back! BRING IT BACK!!!
Brother they're called alfalfa sprouts and have been called that for many years. Micro greens is what influencers began calling them to promote and sell the product because it sounds a lot more pleasant on the ears for simpletons who grew up refusing to eat broccoli and spinach because they didnt taste like candy 😂😂.
Not only is the short quality. On the grow is keeping the commenting community honest. 🔥
So good to see someone perfected using a mat for hydoponic microgreens. I was experimenting with that years ago. Not all micros can grow that way and you still have to use soil.
