Microgreens: How to Grow Nature's Own Superfood

What a cool book! I love instant gratification, and growing and serving microgreens satisfies those of us who are gardeners, cooks, and love to prepare quick, healthy meals. And using fun pots to decorate the kitchen at the same time--what could be better?I've always insisted on serving only fresh, healthy food and herbs and lettuces grown in pots on my deck so they're easy to grab while I'm in the midst of cooking. Microgreens are a wonderful addition, and even a better idea as I can grow them year-round.I used to germinate sprouts but finally admitted that I really don't care for their taste. But microgreens are fabulously fresh, so much more varied and healthy, and with so much more flavor. And now to find out, from this book, the nutrient values of so many different plants--I'm psyched.This book is gorgeously photographed and produced, and the text patiently explains to me, the novice, exactly how to grow what, and how to use them in recipes. I can't wait to serve the Rice Paper Rolls on page 82 to my family--I can already hear their exclamations about how spectacular they are and that they had no idea I was such a creative cook. (Visualize a satisfied smile.) Microgreens are a fabulous snack, picnic food, first course, or even salad.I've always looked longingly at microgreens at farmers' markets but kept on walking as they're simply too pricy for my budget. It's great to know that I can produce my own for micropennies, and have fun doing it!

Very well illustrated and packed with good ideas and tips on how to grow microgreens. For anyone looking to do this it is a very good book to have as it details on exactly how to get the best results out of growing microgreens.

Lots of beautiful photos in this book really made it clear how to go about growing micrograins as opposed to sprouts, and WHY to give it a try. So I did! Delicious...

Found this to be a very comprehensive book on growing, using, storing and benefits of Microgreens. Would recommend it to anyone. I recently began eating a modified raw food diet and feel amazing. This book is a must for anyone who wants to include fresh, nutritious greens in their diet.

I read this book from the local library and then had to have one of my own. I am enjoying experimenting with microgreens. So far I like the black oil sunflower seed microgreens the best.

It is a wonderful book for parents and their children. A real hands on experience to eating the right food. You do not need vitamin supplements if following this wonderful guide to good, healthy eating.

Microgreens: How to Grow Nature's Own Superfood is a clear, concise, and easy to follow book! I am so excited to start my own mini-garden! The photos are beautiful, the directions are simple to follow, and I love that recipes are included! A great book for its price!

This is more of a small coffee table book than gardening guide. The book is heavy on lovely, full color photos but annoying light on detail.It provides lots of ideas for using cute containers to grow tiny veggies, but almost no information on how to grow different kinds of micro greens. Disappointing.
