The long and short of microgreens

In 1993 engineer-turned-farmer Michael Clark was supplying produce to his friend, Virginia chef Craig Hartman, who requested some "baby greens." The result: ever-smaller lettuce leaves. Today, these tiny vegetables are a big ingredient in fancy restaurants, food magazines and windowsill farms. Correspondent David Pogue reports on how a trend was born.

So happy to see main stream media spreading the word about microgreens. Microgreens can benefit so many people. They are so easy to grow and eat.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Completely agree!

[@timswart909]

They left out the best part... They're super easy to grow and they also happen to be the most profitable legal cash crops in the world!

[@CatsPajamas23]

👍My backyard is filled with these! It's wonderful to walk outside in November and find chives, cress, sorel, parsley on the borders.
