“COOL BEANS N SPROUTS” Brand. All about your Brown Speckled Pea Microgreen! To reap the health benefits of microgreens, eat them immediately after harvest. Microgreens, like most other superfoods that are consumed fresh, begin to lose their nutritional value rapidly after harvest. Consider growing your own microgreens at home as this will allow you to decide exactly when you harvest your crop. Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) tall. They have an aromatic flavor and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colors and textures. Microgreens are considered baby plants, falling somewhere between a sprout and baby green. Garlic chives are graceful herbs with pretty white flowers. The combination of a chive-like appearance and strong garlic flavor makes garlic chives a popular seasoning. Chopped fresh garlic chives are found in recipes for Chinese dishes including stir-fries, and they are used in Japanese cuisine as well. With their white flowers, long green shoots, and lack of a bulb, garlic chives (Allium tuberosum) bear a strong resemblance to regular chives. That’s not surprising since both are members of the onion family. However, while the standard chive has a mild flavor similar to onions Chinese garlic chives are known for their strong “garlicky” flavor. Garlic chives like full sun, but they grow fine in partially shaded areas. Plants require fertile soil with a pH of between 6.2 and 7.0. Garlic chives are perennial in zones 3 to 10. They return every year and produce new green growth for you to snip and enjoy. You can direct-sow chives, but starting them indoors in the early spring gives you a head start on the growing season. Start growing garlic chive seeds about 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date. Many herbs, including garlic chives, need a good head start to the growing season because they take a long time to germinate. Turns out microgreens are not just a plain good-for-you food or a healthy garnish on salads and soups. Scientific research now proves that these tiny seedlings harvested and eaten when they are just a few inches tall are a real superfood packed with antioxidants and other health-promoting nutrients.
