*What are microgreens? Smaller than baby greens and larger than sprouts, microgreens are tiny greens grown and then harvested from the seeds of veggies or herbs. I buy mine at the health food store.
I always use organic ingredients in my salads. Purchase organic as often as possible to reduce your exposure to chemical pesticides.
