| micro greens 苗/菜苗/綠苗 Explanation: 苗/菜苗/綠苗 同意 lai an 的解釋 Generally speaking, sprouts have just grown their first set of leaves while microgreens are older and have grown four or more leaves. Also sprouts don't need sunlight while most microgreens do. The next step for some kinds of microgreens would be the baby greens we find in the popular mesclun salad mixes. http://www.rawfoodunderground.com/glossary.html 查到的micro green 是顏料,在食物方面查得的是Microgreens |

| Reference: Sprouting -->sprout/micro greens Reference information: Sprouting is the practice of soaking, draining and then rinsing seeds at regular intervals until they germinate, or sprout. This can be a semi-automated or fully automated process when done on a large scale for commercial use. 豆芽是豆科的作物種子浸水後萌發的產品，用來做蔬菜供人食用。最常見的為綠豆，稱為豆芽或綠豆芽。也有黃豆芽、豌豆芽、蠶豆芽、苜蓿芽等。 豆芽生產不需要土地、農具，只需要充足的水就可以在室內萌發，是生產最簡單的一種蔬菜。 Example sentence(s):

| Reference: 'microgreens' are not the same as 'sprouts' Reference information: Microgreens can also be called Microherbs or Microveg or Microvegetables and Minigreens. http://www.howtogrowmyown.com/index.php?pr=Micro_Greens Micro-greens are the plant's first true leaves, replacing the cotyledon leaves. http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/gourmetguide/tuesday/ro... Salad mixes, mesclun, baby leaf and microgreens are new terms for many gardeners although they have been available in supermarkets as a packaged salad item for many years. http://www.greenharvest.com.au/seeds/vegetables_salad_mix_in... What are Microgreens? Microgreens are basically many of the same leafy greens as are used for salad mixes but are cut at a smaller stage and only harvested once. They are eaten as thin, delicate plants, the smallest possible variation on salad greens and herbs. They provide texture and colour when used as garnish, or exciting flavours when used as part of a salad mixes. Think of microgreens as a cross between a salad mix and sprouts. Sprouts belong in the province of the kitchen and are not really part of the gardener's domain. While sprouts are well known for their health benefits they are not famous for their flavour whereas microgreens are both healthy and a taste sensation. They differ from the more familiar sprouts on several fronts. Microgreens are grown in sunlight and usually harvested when there are four or more leaves whilst sprouts are usually eaten with their first set of leaves. Most people are familiar with the trays of wheatgrass available in supermarkets but there is a big range of vegetables that can be grown in a similar way including buckwheat, sunflower, pea and many of the salad mix varieties. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 days (2009-05-03 03:08:07 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- greens: 叶子/蔬菜。如： edible greens 食用叶(蔬)菜类, 食用草本植物; salad greens 色拉用绿叶蔬菜; dandelion greens (罐头)蒲公英嫩叶 (Google) |
