Breakfast recipes with microgreens- easy to make

Microgreens are one way to add green vegetables to our dishes. In this Breakfast recipes with microgreens post, we will give some fun ideas on including this delicate yet delicious ingredient in our breakfast.

We love microgreens, and we are always looking for a way to introduce them to our meals. These tiny green vegetables are rich in nutrients and taste delicious.

You can buy microgreens in the supermarket or grow them at home. If you are interested in the know-how to grow microgreens at home, I have an easy guide to growing microgreens at home that may help you.

How do I prepare my microgreens?

We only eat the green leaves and part of the stem of the microgreens but not the roots. The way we clean our microgreens are same as we do with our lettuces. I wash them thoroughly, let them stand in water with vinegar for a couple of minutes, and rinse.

The best way to eat microgreens is when they are fresh. I wouldn’t store them after the cut.
