Can microgreens be eaten raw?

Are They Safe If Eaten Raw. Absolutely Yes. If the microgreens are grown properly with all the necessary requirements they are obviously safe to eat. Microgreens are safe to eat raw as only the upper part above the roots are harvested but not the roots. So by avoiding the root parts, food poisoning can be avoided as the roots are more prone to infections. It is always better to rinse the microgreens before consuming to avoid dust or any worms. Microgreens, if eaten in smaller amounts, are absolutely safe. Use them as a snack or a part of a meal. Rinse the microgreens under clean running water to wash out the surface microorganism if present.
