I read the book after a recent trip to the west coast where I tried micro greens for the first time. They were really enjoyable and so I became curious. This was the first piece of written material I came across on the stuff, and I'm glad I did. Not only did it answer all the questions I had about the "what are they?" but then it helped me dive head first into the "now go do it yourself".

I live in New York City and am not lucky enough to have my own backyard. Turns out I have about all the space I need on my fire escape and roof to put together a very productive micro greens garden. I'm also not the greeniest of green thumbs, but found myself following the directions close enough to where my micro greens came out happy, healthy, and delicious. Very happy I did this and I can't wait to share the experience and tastes with my guests!

If you're interested in Microgreens, check this book out! I've only eaten microgreens in high-end restaurants. Even more, they're very expensive at the market....when you can find them. This book is an excellent tool for growing the greens myself. After reading this book, I feel that even I can do this. The "Sources" section lists organic places that I can order the seeds and soil I'll need. The paper quality in this book is surprisingly exceptional and the photos are gorgeous!

This is a remarkable book. As a grower myself (Fresh Origins), I can confidently recommend it as the best information on the topic available at this time.

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.

This book is beautifully written and illustrated, and takes you step by step through the process of growing micro greens. They are delicious and nutritious! I was very impressed with the book- highly recommend it to everyone!

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.

I was hoping to find out how to grow microgreens for me in the house over the winter. They do give a lot of info on different greens which is nice but as far as the recipes and many unneeded photos it really missed the mark for me.

Microgreens is a must have book for both the organic home gardener and the small scale farmer. The book offers engaging and informative insights into the many benefits of microgreens, including nutritional qualities, ease of cultivation, and rapid harvests. Easy for the home gardener to follow, the book is cleverly structured to cover everything from garden to table (soil building for the advanced grower, and cooking recipes for the novice wholesome foods advocate). Most importantly, it doesn't offer suggestions or instructions that require expensive equipment or a background in agriculture.

I admittedly knew very little on the topic prior to reading the book, and I have already germinated a low-cost microgreens garden on my back porch. This is cutting-edge, compact, sustainable, and easy to produce agriculture; I would suggest it to anyone interested in producing their own quick, easy, and nutritious food.

I found Microgreens: A Guide To Growing Nutrient Packed Greens to be an amazing "how-to" book for growing your own vitamin-rich produce. As a mom, I want to provide the best food for my family - however, the organic food at the supermarket is just too expensive. This book has been the answer, by giving me the step by step process for how to grow my own microgreens (which are delicious) at home. You can eat them in a salad, on a sandwich, etc., and you know you are getting a healthy meal that you grew for low-cost in your own back yard. I was pleasantly surprised by how little space you need to start growing. We have our garden on our back porch and it works perfectly. Probably the best of all is that my kids love them and growing microgreens is something fun we can do together.

This book is perfect for someone new to gardening, like me. The instructions are very easy to follow and understand. The book is informative and interesting. The pictures are colorful and inspiring. There are recipies to inspire the use of microgreens in meals.
