Microgreens are a great way to get the benefits of vegetables and herbs in a condensed form. There are various seed varieties sprouts of vegetables and herbs, harvested at a very early stage when they are just a few days old and haven’t yet developed full-sized leaves. As a result, they are more concentrated in nutrients than mature plants, taste better, and have a more robust flavour than their older counterparts.

There are many reasons to grow microgreens, but one, in particular, has been proven by research: Microgreens contain up to 10 times as many nutrients as their fully grown counterparts.

The health benefits of eating microgreens can be long-lasting and include improved brain function, reduced inflammation, lower risk for cancer and heart disease, increased immunity and better digestion. They also contain more chlorophyll than mature plants, which is excellent for people who want to detoxify their bodies and eat cleaner foods.

Growing your microgreens is not difficult at all, especially with our easy grow kits. They’re also available to buy at some supermarkets but tend to be expensive and will go past their use-by date quickly. By growing your own, you decide when to grow and harvest them and can have an abundance of microgreens for a fraction of the cost; plus, why miss out on the fun and rewarding feeling of growing your nutrition at home?

Microgreens are typically grown in soil or hydroponic containers and can be used for garnish, salads, sandwiches, soups or even as a topping on pizza.
