If you’re looking for a great new green that is full of flavor, color and convenience, look no further than the Easiest Microgreens. These small, evergreen plants are perfect for anyone with a sunny and pleasant temperate climate. You’ll love how easy they are to grow and harvesting them is even easier.
Most varieties of easy microgreens are thought to be true leaves of true greens. They were first described way back in 1801 by German physician and botanist Carl Walch. What he knew was that these tiny, nearly round green vegetables have an important role in the diet of many of today’s healthy people. Walch noticed that the leaves of true leaves contain a compound called sin that is useful in improving eyesight, which can help prevent age-related eye problems like vision loss. He also noted that these plants have an alkalinity similar to grapefruit that can help maintain a healthy blood pressure and prevent hypertension.
Today we have several different ways to prepare easy green microgreens. The easiest way to enjoy these healthy little gems is to eat them raw. This will ensure that you get all of their health benefits – the health benefits of the nutrients in the green leafs, plus the enzymes that help break down the fiber. If you’re not a fan of eating raw fruits and vegetables, there are a few choices for growing microgreens that make them easier to eat, including: frozen, canned or fresh. There are many different varieties of Easy Greens, so it’s best to start with one of the easiest types and then graduate to the different varieties of greens. Here’s a look at some of the most popular varieties:
One of the easiest microgreens on the market is the arugula variety, which is dark purple snapbeans with a nice peppery flavor. They come from the lawns and gardens of Southern France, where arugula is a common household herb. Many people enjoy eating this sweet and sour vegetable sliced raw on crackers or in salads. Because of its bitter taste, the best way to eat this nutritious vegetable is to mash it into a salad.
Quintoniles are another one of the easiest microgreens to care for and harvest. These tasty little varieties only take about three weeks to flower, making them ready to enjoy as early as the week before hot weather. These plants come in a variety of colors, including yellow, red and white. You can harvest them any time during the season or place them in your refrigerator until you are ready to eat. You can cook them with your favorite salsa, add some cheese to your dip or use them to make small quiches for tacos, pizza or other foods.
Although quintoniles are among the easiest microgreens to care for and harvest, cabbages are still another great option. The cool weather, mildews and garlic-like flavors make cabbages a versatile vegetable that can be used in soups, stews, salads, potato salads and more. The shorter growing season of these varieties makes them even easier to harvest, while their larger size means they are cheaper than other varieties. Both types of micro greens can be planted in the same garden, although you will notice cabbages’ smaller blooms take the place of the larger, bushy leaves of quintoniles.
There are several varieties of radishes available, including the well-known snap and green varieties. If you want to start a new plant from seed, the snap variety is the easiest to start with. The green varieties are easier to grow because they are not as picky about the soil and can survive in many less-than-ideal conditions. It is also possible to find hybrid varieties, such as one-of-a-kind Royal Radish, which has traits from several common breeds of radish but is a cross with a different name. Hybrid varieties will offer the best results, but you will have a harder time finding seeds to plant because any reputable nursery should be able to tell you where and what to look for.
In addition to easy-to-grow varieties of radish, there are some specific varieties of radish that are best for growing in containers. Queen Anne’s Lace, or “laproot”, is one of the easiest microgreens to care for. It produces small blue flowers that have an intense flavor. It can easily be grown in terracotta pots with holes in the bottom. There are also dwarf radish microgreens, which are tiny, blue, dwarf variety of the popular red variety that produces large, purple flowers. Either type can easily be maintained by making sure they get enough sunshine, frequent watering, and the occasional pulling off the soil and blower.
