These tiny greens are essentially the young vegetables and herbs, harvested when they are just a few inches tall, just before they form their true leaves and at the height of their nutritional density. They are smaller than baby greens but larger than sprouts and harvested at an early stage of growth—usually 7 to 21 days after germination. Their vibrant colours, fresh flavours, and impressive health benefits make them a favourite among chefs, nutritionists, and home gardeners alike.
