What are Microgreens exactly? (No no, they ain’t sprouts)

As the name suggests, microgreens are micro versions of matured plants. It is basically the budding stage of the plant when the leaves just start to grow and the shoots are only 2-3 inches taller. Commonly confused with sprouts, microgreens are completely different from baby shoots or sprouts as they are grown in soil, while sprouts are germinated in water.
