Microgreens: A Beginner’s Guide to the Benefits of Cultivation and Consumption

Oct. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Cardigan River Publishing is pleased to announce the first book by author Julia Winchester, titled “Microgreens: A Beginner’s Guide to the Benefits of Cultivation and Consumption”.

Increasingly popular over the last decade, microgreens have provided a way for everyone to be an organic farmer in their own home, even with limited space.  Packed with concentrated nutrients and flavor, microgreens offer a means to get fresh home-grown produce into one’s diet year-round.

The initial reason for creating these greens was to provide a garnish for restaurant dishes. Even today, it is very common to find them adorning your dinner plate at a higher-priced establishment. Though this is one of the most common uses for them, many people enjoy both the flavor and the nutritional value of these greens.

In Microgreens: The Beginner’s Guide to the Benefits of Cultivation and Consumption, Julia Winchester walks the reader through the history of microgreens and the basics of choosing and cultivating your own crop to use in recipes or as a topping or garnish to current dishes.  Even if you’ve never grown anything before, microgreens require minimal effort to generate the reward of better nutrition.

Available exclusively as a Kindle book, Microgreens: The Beginner’s Guide to the Benefits of Cultivation and Consumption can be purchased from Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SB9C3I/ref=as_li_ss_....

Originally from Annapolis, Maryland, Julia Winchester now makes Northern California her home where her hobbies include writing and organic vegetable and flower gardening.
