Thin roots on clover

Clover is a very thin sprout that need to be rinsed with care to make sure, the plants do not break. I recommend that you either rinse with a thin water stream or put an Faucet Aerator on your water tap. Both will ease the water jet and ease the pressure on these fragile sprouts. As they grow larger or into microgreens, they will be strong enough to withstand more water pressure.

Your home-grown microgreens of Red clover is almost neutral in taste. This goes for both sprouts and microgreens. This makes the plants very easy to use in any dish where you feel the need for a substitute for traditional green salad leaves. I especially like to use them in sandwiches, green salads, dips and wraps. But they also go very well as an extra filling in smoothies or juices.
