or Herb Seeds, Including Some Grains and Grasses
Microgreens with a MILD flavor
Mild flavors include nutty and sweet, often tasting similar to their adult counterparts. Top mild microgreens include: alfalfa, borage, broccoli, carrot, chard and kale.
Microgreens with a SPICY flavor

Herbs That Can Be Grown as Microgreens
Often used to garnish desserts or cocktails (or flavor amazing salsas and lip-smacking guacamoles), most herbs can also be grown as microgreens. The most popular microgreen herbs include: anise, basil, cilantro, dill, fennel, scallion (but the list goes on and on and on).
