In Season: sprouts, shoots and microgreens

It's officially the first day of Spring which means that after a long and brutal winter, we'll finally start seeing a lot more life at local farm stands. Some of the first things to pop up are sprouts, shoots and microgreens. They're cute and tiny and are also known as "vegetable confetti." The little veggies are packed with nutrients and are great in salads or as garnishes on soups and toast.    

Amelia Tarpey is a Program and Publicity Manger for GrowNYC Greenmarkets. She said right now sprouts, shoots and microgreens are going for over $10 per pound, but they're light so you can get a lot for your money.
