For something else to try, garlic! I never thought of this as microgreens. But we used to grow garlic in pots during the winter. Split the cloves and stick them closely in the soil. The green shoots can get quite tall, maybe 8". Cut the tops off and use them for seasoning, such as in pot sticker filling, never raw. Some people also grow them in the dark to get tender shoots.
You mean all those tiny pain-in-the-butt inner cloves

I've got them in a bowl in the pantry to forget about. Then poke them into one of my deck herb containers come Spring.
