Kale Microgreens - Red Russian

Kale microgreens, like other microgreens, are young edible plants harvested at an early stage of growth, just after the first true leaves have developed. While specific research on kale microgreens might be limited, they generally offer similar health benefits to mature kale, but in a more concentrated form due to their early growth stage.
