Can microgreens be yellow?
Yes! Microgreens can come in many colors options, including green (of course!), red, pink, purple, and yellow. The color of microgreens is determined by the pigments present in the plant which depends on predispositions, variety and way of cultivation.
Why microgreens are yellow?
Carotenoids are responsible for pigmenting yellow-colored microgreens. They are a group of plant pigments that are commonly found in yellow, orange, and red-colored fruits and vegetables.
Carotenoids play an important role in photosynthesis and have health benefits for humans.
Which microgreens can be yellow?
Microgreens can vary in color based on factors like light exposure, soil quality, and the variety or cultivar of the plant. That said, here are some microgreens that can have yellow or light green hues:
-
Beet Microgreens: Some beet microgreens, especially if they're deprived of light, can have a yellowish hue. In Beet, Yellow we have green leaves and yellow stem. However, under normal light conditions, beet microgreens are typically more reddish or pinkish in their stem with green leaves.
-

-
Popcorn Microgreens: When grown in darkness, popcorn microgreens remain yellow and have a sweet flavor. They're usually grown this way to keep them pale, crispy and tender.
It's worth noting that growing conditions, especially light, can influence the coloration of microgreens. If microgreens are grown in the dark or deprived of light for a period, they may not develop their full chlorophyll content, which can give them a yellowish appearance.
