Lettuce microgreens are young, edible greens produced from various types of lettuce seeds. They are harvested at a young stage, typically when the first true leaves have developed, which gives them a more intense flavor and nutrient profile compared to mature lettuce.
Taste Lettuce microgreens have a tender, crisp texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. When eaten raw, they add a refreshing crunch to dishes. Their subtle taste allows them to pair well with a variety of ingredients, making them versatile in both savory and sweet recipes. |
