This species has been known since antiquity and is listed in the Greek herbal of Dioscorides (Materia Medica) written in the first century (Fig. 1) as well as the English herbal of John Gerard (1597).

Microgreens are specialty vegetables that contain human health-promoting phytochemicals. Typically, microgreens cultivated in controlled environments under red and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the impact of varying proportions these light qualities on composition diverse phytochemicals indoor-grown is unclear. To address this problem, levels chlorophylls, carotenoids, ascorbates,...

Microgreens growing under electric (artificial) lighting in controlled environments often have short hypocotyls, which can be difficult for machine harvest. To investigate whether early-stage dark treatment promote hypocotyl elongation without compromising microgreen yield and quality, two different seed-size species, sunflower (Helianthus annuus ‘Black oil’) arugula (Eruca sativa ‘Rocket’), we...
