Audience: beginners who want fresh greens at home.
Learning goal: explain the difference between microgreens and sprouts, and the basic steps to grow each.
Microgreens
Microgreens grow in shallow trays with a thin layer of medium. They are harvested after the first true leaves appear, usually 7-21 days after sowing.
Sprouts
Sprouts are grown without soil, usually in a jar or sprouting lid. They are harvested after germination, often 2-6 days after soaking.
