Microgreens- a tasty and sustainable choice for a healthy lifestyle

You can grow microgreens indoors for salads, smoothies, sandwiches, wraps, and Buddha Bowls. Microgreens are easy to grow at your home. Microgreens can be used in salads, sandwiches, wraps, or sautéed with hash or stir-fry. To create the perfect microgreen blend, you can use any green you like--from radishes to kale to arugula… you can choose and make a mix of your own favorite combinations!!

They are full of nutrients and will bring you joy and satisfaction of having grown your own produce!! You can easily grow tons of nutritious food by sprouting or growing microgreens.

Just in case if you are wondering, what microgreens are? Then… a microgreen is a tender, new shoot from a vegetable plant. This is what happens to a seed that has been sprouted. However, it shouldn't be allowed to mature completely. Because they are small, you can grow them indoors. You'll be harvesting these microgreens before they mature. And because you will not be growing them fully, microgreens can be harvested in a matter of days. 

Microgreens are typically sweet in taste, tender and crisp. They are also one of the most nutritious vegetables! The nutrient content of microgreens, when they are newly sprouted, can be up to 40 times that of their mature counterparts. For e.g. microgreens made from red cabbage seeds contain 40 times more vitamin E than full-grown red cabbage and six times as much vitamin C.

So bottom-line, these microgreens are power packed with nutrients and extremely easy to grow. The best part is, since you are growing them indoor in small batches, you will always have fresh microgreens to add to your salads and sandwiches… even in the cold winter months!!

Real life example: Though I wish I had a green thumb; I am by no means a gardener. This is my humble attempt to grow microgreens on the kitchen  side-rack and needless to say, I have a great harvest! Do give growing microgreens a try… you will find them a great addition to many food preparations and as mentioned above, they are packed with nutrients.
