Spinach Microgreens

Microgreen

Spinacia oleracea

Overview
Spinach microgreens are tender, delicate seedlings with small oval leaves and a vibrant green color. They reach harvest maturity in approximately 25 days, making them a moderately quick crop compared to full-size spinach. The key differentiator is their concentrated nutrient density—microgreens pack significantly more vitamins and minerals per gram than mature leaves. They deliver a mild, clean flavor with subtle sweetness and no bitterness, making them ideal for raw applications like salads, smoothie bowls, and garnishes. Their tender texture and refined taste work well in both culinary and presentation-focused dishes.
