The convenience of harvesting microgreens, therefore, plays into the perceived value and high price point. Additionally, some growers justify the high costs by claiming hidden labor and resource requirements, such as expensive soil or extensive daily tending. However, it’s essential to recognize that nature has a remarkable way of supporting plant growth if left undisturbed.
