Sprouts and Microgreens are often confused, let’s focus on the main differences between them.
Microgreens are grown in numerous different growing mediums such as soil, cocopeat, aeroponically and hydronically. Unlike microgreens which absorb nutrients from their growing medium, sprouts only need water to germinate, they do not require any additional nutrients.
Depending on the variety, microgreens take between 1-4 weeks to grow, sprouts take less than 1 week.
Microgreens undergo the process of photosynthesis but sprouts do not! You can grow sprouts without the need for any light source. It is the process of photosynthesis that gives microgreens their vibrant colour.
While sprouts only have tiny leaves formed from the seed called ‘cotyledon’, microgreens have the ‘true leaves’ of the plant. The leaves and stems can be eaten in both microgreens and sprouts. You can also eat the roots of a sprout, but not a microgreen.
Microgreens are packed with a flavour punch whereas sprouts tend to deliver just a crunch.
