With the popularity of the three-part series on microgreens on this blog, I was happy to find a book about the topic to present here. — Zana
Description
MICROGREENS: A Guide to Growing Nutrient-Packed Greens
DUBBED A CULINARY BUZZWORD by National Public Radio, microgreens-vegetables harvested soon after sprouting-are expected to be one of the year’s hottest food trends.
With simple instruction, Microgreens teaches how to plant, grow, and harvest microgreens from one’s own garden. The small amount of space needed to grow microgreens-a porch, patio, deck, or balcony will do-allows anyone to easily incorporate them into their daily meals, and the greens’ nutritional potency make them a must-eat in a healthy diet.
INCLUDES THESE MICROGREENS:
- Amaranth
- Arugula
- Basil
- Beet
- Broccoli
- Celery
- Chard
- Cilantro
- Cress
- Endive
- Mustard
- Pac Choi
- Pea
- Purple Cabbage
- Radish
- Tokyo Bekana
Although I like the idea, I felt that the book was for a professional, someone who was a microgreens commercial farmer or wanted to be, not for a home gardener. Pretty pictures but I don’t see the reason for many of them. To have full page pictures of handsome chefs doesn’t do anything to help me. I would rather have a picture of salad bowl on a kitchen table, showing something I could do with the greens. Many time I felt I was short on how-to information. It is such a good idea and compelling topic I was glad to see the book. Unfortunatly I wouldn’t recommend it if you just want to grow a few greens for the family.

Microgreens: A Guide To Growing Nutrient Packed Greens
This book is truly stunning. It is the best written, most informative book that I have read on the topic of microgreens- growing nutrient packed greens. It is well suited for both the home grower and commercial grower. The recipes are excellent and will make your mouth water. The photography is breathtaking and captures the vitality of this living, nutrient packed food that is easily grown in a small space within a short period of time. The authors are to be congratulated on producing such a superb work that is truly as enjoyable to read as it is practical and informative.

Microgreens: A Guide To Growing Nutrient Packed Greens
We were really excited to see this book. First, it’s gorgeous–the full page color photographs look delicious themselves, that’s what initially attracted us to the book and the idea of growing our own microgreens. As a busy family on a fixed budget who also cares about eating healthy, natural foods, this book really detailed the possibilities of microgreens. The book made the process so easy, it provided our family with a simple step by step guide of how to grow beautiful, nutritious food at home. It was so easy, in fact, not only have we been sharing any surplus with friends and neighbors, we’re thinking about selling them at either the Farmer’s Market or to restaurants in town. And the book even tells you how to do that! We highly recommend this book to everyone, whether you want a fresh gourmet salad once a week or you want to start a microgreens business.
