Microgreens, sprouts and baby leaves

Microgreens are young plants harvested for their stems and first leaves. A small portion brings aroma, texture and colour. Here is how to choose them for your kitchen.

Three stages, different roles

MicroVerdes offers microgreens and baby leaves. Each crop page states the stage, helping you picture the portion: a few tips to finish a cream soup or a leaf that belongs in a salad.

What you are buying
StageWhat reaches the plate
SproutA newly germinated seed, usually eaten whole, including its root.
MicrogreenStems and first leaves cut above the growing medium, leaving roots in the tray.
Baby leafA more developed leaf with greater size and presence.

Choose what you want to add

Start with the flavour of the dish. Basil works with tomatoes; pea shoots echo a sweet, green note; radish can bring contrast to a creamy base.

Colour helps with presentation, but it tells only part of the story. Amaranth and Ruby Streaks both bring red tones with different flavours: mild and earthy in the first, mustard in the second.

Four details worth checking

  • Variety and stage: identify the leaf and its size.
  • Flavour and texture: suggest what it brings to the bite.
  • Ingredient notices: share these with kitchen and front of house.
  • Tray price: use it with your portion size to calculate cost.

Taste the dish as well as the leaf

Taste the crop on its own, then with the sauce and main ingredient. Adjust the amount until its contribution is clear.

Repeat the finish on several portions and agree on the amount with your team. Tasting notes guide your choice; tasting each harvest helps you keep the result you want.

Kitchen questions

Do microgreens and microbrotes mean the same thing?

Yes. We use the English and Spanish names for the same stage. Baby leaves are identified separately.

Are they all peppery?

No. You can choose mild, sweet, herbal, earthy or peppery profiles. Explore the filters and each variety’s crop page.
