So what are Microgreens?

Microgreens, are tiny powerhouses of nutrition, offering a burst of flavor and health benefits. These miniature versions of herbs and vegetables are harvested at an early stage, just as they begin to sprout. Packed with an impressive array of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins C, K, B6, and E, as well as folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, microgreens are a nutritional powerhouse that can elevate any dish.

The beauty of microgreens lies in their versatility. These petite greens can be incorporated into a wide range of culinary creations, adding a pop of color, texture, and flavor. Whether you’re looking to enhance the taste of your sandwiches, salads, soups, pasta dishes, or even pizzas, microgreens are the perfect addition. Their delicate yet vibrant presence can transform an ordinary meal into a culinary masterpiece.

To truly savor the freshness and flavor of microgreens, it’s best to enjoy them immediately after harvesting. Unlike their mature counterparts, microgreens lose their essence and vitality rather quickly, making them unsuitable for long-term storage. For optimal growth, these miniature greens thrive indoors, especially during the winter months when locally sourced vegetables are scarce. So, why not bring a touch of greenery and nutrition to your plate with these delightful microgreens?

What do you need to grow Microgreens?
  1. You will need 2 trays;
    • The bottom tray will be used as a reservoir, so must not have holes
    • The middle one will be used as the growing tray and will need holes for drainage
    • The top tray will be turned upside down and be used to blackout the light, so must not have holes*
  2. Coconut Coir Growing Brick or standard compost for sowing into
  3. A Spray bottle for misting your seedlings

*You may use the same tray for the top and bottom if you wish, as you may not be using these at the same. Or purchase an additional tray with no holes, if you intent to use at the same time as the other trays.
