I’ve never heard of microherbs though I am very familiar with microgreens. Are they similar to microgreens in what they are (i.e. a baby seedling of the plant) or are they something different. This sounds very refreshing and I like the idea of both the basil & the mint.
Kelly,
Yes, microherbs are microgreens, just microgreen versions of plants people generally think of as herbs rather than microgreen versions of other plants. Micro basil, micro chives, micro dill, micro mint, micro shiso, etc.
We use the term in our microgreen category to help separate them from all the other microgreen varieties available, in order to make it (hopefully) easier for people to find what they’re looking for.
