Growing and Cooking with Microgreens

Emma Lee, Extension ANR Agent and Judy Vaughn, Extension FCS Agent presented Growing and Cooking with Microgreens.  Microgreens have become very popular due to their nutritional value and the ease of growing.   Microgreens are a great way to get a lot of vitamins and nutrients in a small serving size especially for someone who does not like a lot of vegetables.  A few ways to add microgreens to your diet are in soups, salads, and sandwiches.  Twenty adults and four youth participated in the program.  They learned how to grow microgreens including what seeds to use, the nutrition value, and tried a sample of microgreens on ham and cheese toasties.  Participants took home a small microgreen growing kit.   Nineteen of the participants polled stated that they would include microgreens in their diet.
