Go to the Article: Harvesting & Using Microgreens
I've watched a number of great sprout growing videos on youtube and they provide detailed directions. They recommend harvesting sprouts and microgreens with ceramic scissors. Using ceramic scissors will keep the cut end of greens from turning brown.

Could I just cut them off and let them put up more leaves and cut them off again instead of uprooting them?
How many mowings could you get from a patch?
If I planted a veggie patch really really thickly and then thinned the seedlings out with extreme prejudice would they still be called microgreens or would they just be garden thinnings?
If you grow then Aquaponic or hydroponic they will grow quicker and more tasty, Cut them and they will come again and again.
We would like to grow microgreens in the restaurant kitchen. Besides havng the sunlight and avoiding heat are there any other concerns?
After you snip them off, do you leave the roots in and wait for them to grow back? Or do you need to take the roots out and replant new seeds?
Did you start growing your own microgreens? I am interested to hear how it goes.
At my farm, Southern City Farm, in New Orleans we do not let the greens grow back for a second harvest. We find that the flavor has a fraction of the first growth and kind of taste like grass. Not very delicious or nutritious! I think what they are trying to say here is to clip the larger greens first as they grow up. This allows space for the smaller greens to shoot up a few day later. Most greens will not grow back anyway, only the hardy ones do.
On our website, www.southerncityfarm.com, we share information about our growing process and the techniques and resources we use to seed, water, and harvest. Come join us and feel free to ask questions and comments - they will not go unanswered!
I've used micro greens for many-years I guess It is a good time to learn how to grow them yes It's time
Thanks for a great article, I've been using https://growbook.io/ to grow micro-greens out of my kitchen or office bookshelf, harvesting is always a labour of love but got my first crop today and was great!
