Bought this package of cute microgreens from Trader Joes. I guess microgreens are basically sprouts. The TJ variety has organic greens from mizuna, tatsoi, red mustard, purple kohlrabi, red cabbage, kale, broccoli, collards, celery, arugula, beet tops, and amaranth. I liked this salad more than the other one that only had the rocket. The flavor of these microgreens is not as peppery as that of the rocket, so I think it matches better with the fig and dubliner.
No, microgreens are not basically sprouts. There are major differences in the way they are grown. This is important because sprouts are regularly implicated in food poisoning; microgreens are not. Microgreens have much more flavor, color and texture and have more in common with baby greens in the way they are grown and used compared to sprouted seeds.
