What is the difference between sprouts and microgreens?
Sprouts are consumed whole, with stems and seeds, usually shortly after germination. Microgreens, on the other hand, are grown on or in growing media such as fleece pads of hemp or coco, soil or hydroponics. Once the first leaves, called cotyledons, are fully formed, they are consumed. The lowest stem section and the root are discarded with the growing medium.
