I want to grow a micro green in order to supplement my diet with vitamins and minerals, as well as amino acids or protein, as cheaply and efficiently as possible. What is the best thing to grow in this situation?
Really want the O P T I M A L variety

You can sprout beans and lentils at home pretty easily. I once sprouted basil that was really tasty.

Im also interested in this, Id like to build a little basic grow box for it because I cant trust the darkies to not steal my herbs...
First of all, microgreens and sprouts are different things entirely. Microgreens=2/3 week old lettuce, spinach, or slightly younger kale. Sprouts= Week old grains or legumes.
Eat a mix of both. Nerd.

im the poster above you, didnt know the differences, seems like this thread would be good for anything like that that is small and somewhat easy to grow, id be interested in any info on all of that plus maybe some herbs that could coexist in the same envoronment
sunflower sprouts are the tastiest desu

I work in a greenhouse, I know the ins and outs of growing sprouts and micros (most people use them interchangeably unless youre an ag nerd) but I'm specifically interested if anyone knows what the ABSOLUTE BEST plant to sprout is in terms of nutrient density, if I had to pick just one.

>tfw its true
Anyway, alfalfa or sesame sprouts are probably your best bet. Apparently higher in calcium than milk, lots of trace and macro minerals and vitamins. That said, a variety of sprouts will always have better nutrients than just one type.
