Microgreens and sprouts are often confused, but they are quite different in terms of growth, nutrition, and usage. Understanding these differences can help you make the best choice for your health and recipes.

Sprouts are the very first stage of plant growth. They are germinated seeds, typically grown in water for 2–5 days. Common sprouts include mung bean, alfalfa, and broccoli sprouts. While nutritious, sprouts are more prone to contamination due to their water-based growing process.

Microgreens, on the other hand, are harvested at a slightly later stage, around 7–21 days after germination. They are grown in soil or a growing medium and develop stems and leaves. These tiny greens pack more nutrients than sprouts and have a wider variety of flavors, from nutty sunflower shoots to spicy radish greens.
