Microgreens: : A Beginner's Guide to the Benefits of Cultivation and Consumption Paperback – October 16, 2012

This is a very clearly written and informative Kindle ebook. The word 'microgreens' is, like 'sprouts,' one of today's buzzwords, and there is a mystique about exactly what microgreens are and what their benefits are to someone's diet.It's all explained here, without any exaggerated claims being made on behalf of these little plants. However, there is no doubt that they are 'good for you' in the sense of nutritious, and they also have subtle flavors that make them an excellent addition to meals. At the end of the ebook there is a list of the kinds of microgreens available so that you can experiment with different ones to discover those you most enjoy.Microgreens can also be easily cultivated in a small space, such as on a kitchen windowsill, and this is great because the very fact that they are so fashionable today means that prices for them can be exorbitant. So an interest in microgreens can flourish not only through eating them, but also by learning to grow them for yourself, and maybe even going on to start your own microgreens business providing them for local restaurants and caterers. All in all, these little plants can bring much more to your life than their size would indicate.

The information is very redundant, i.e., 3 different paragraphs repeating the same point buy organic. 3 different paragraphs on how microgreens are good, add to your salads. It is a draft with redundant thoughts, and only about 1 page that describes what you need to grow microgreens and that was vague. Really a waste of time and money. Did not learn anything new, but many doubts about how current the writer is on growing microgreens. Save your $10.

While the content was definitely useful for someone with no prior knowledge, I didn't find the styleof writing to be too terribly engaging. There was one point where she said something interesting and clever, butfor the most part it was repetitive, almost generic and boring.Definitely an anti-sprouts perspective. I almost started to feel sorry for the poor little sprouts being bashed so shamelessly in support of the microgreens. "Don't eat sprouts. Eat microgreens." That seemed to be the gist of the book.Good general info, and I definitely learned something, but could have used more pictures to illustrate the points, and more supporting material to justify her statements and flesh out her ideas.

Very basic. Great compact info on the different microgreens out there. Excellent summary of the difference between sprouts and microgreens. A little disappointed that it didn't go into more detail about how to do the actual planting, how much soil you need, etc.. I guess I was hoping for more hands on approach, nevertheless, an excellent beginner info booklet.

My family has been interested in growing our own food (at least starting to!) for years now, but work and school get in the way and we just keep going back to the grocery store for our produce. I was looking for a way to get into growing something at home that would be easy to grow, not too much work and tasty. Since we all love microgreens in restaurants, I thought they might be a good place to start. I am very glad that I bought this book because it truly is an excellent beginner's guide to choosing which microgreens to grow, growing them and harvesting them. Microgreens are a great entry point into growing food for my family because we can grow them semi-indoors and semi-outdoors. The author does a great job explaining how to use trays that you can start inside but also take outside during the day for sun. This works perfectly for us - especially because the kids are more into things they can see grow which they get to do when we bring the trays in at night! We have just started with red kale and chia but so far so good! I really like that the author promotes using organic materials and seeds since you are going to be eating what you grow. This is a great book to learn how to grow food - even if, like us, you have never done it before.

Microgreens are a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle and if they are fresh picked and completely organic that is all the better. With this guide you will learn all you need to know about microgreens. It is loaded with helpful info on the health benefits of microgreens, the different types, what you need, and how to grow them. This guide is perfect for someone like me (who has never had a green thumb) because its instructions are both detailed and simple.Anybody looking to add a little more flavor and nutrients to their diet using microgreens has got to check out this book.

...here's your pick!! It appeared that portions were copied from sources I saw online. The grammer and English is poor. Other portions were 100% contrary to every other source I have ever read. So not impressed. This should have been a free book. How do I get my money back?!? Keep practicing your writing skills and then come back to the table!!
