ELECTRIC MICROGREENS

A HEALTHY WAY TO POWER YOUR DAY!

What are Microgreens?

Microgreens are quickly becoming a popular addition to the world of healthy food. As the name implies, microgreens are miniature vegetable greens that are grown from seeds and harvested at an early stage of development. These micro-sized plants bear a remarkable resemblance to their full-grown counterparts, but boast intense flavor profiles that make them delicious in salads, sandwiches and other dishes. Their incredible health benefits include high levels of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well as substantial amounts of phytonutrients and dietary fiber; microgreens can also help boost your immune system and keep you energized throughout the day! Although microgreens have only recently become mainstream, they are quickly making a name for themselves as a nutritious addition to any diet.

Health Benefits of Microgreens!

Microgreens are a surprisingly healthy addition to anyone's diet. During their short growth cycle microgreens absorb essential nutrients and minerals, including Vitamins A, C and K, potassium and magnesium, making them an excellent source of nutrition. They also boast high levels of antioxidants which help to fight the effects of free radicals and can even reduce the risk of some chronic illnesses. Microgreens contain more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts when comparing gram-for-gram, resulting in consuming only small amounts to get a significant nutrient boost. Adding microgreens to meals provides an easy and tasty way for people to make sure they’re nourishing their bodies with all the vitamins and minerals it needs.

How are Microgreens Grown?

Growing microgreens in soil indoors is an innovative, sustainable way of cultivating greens year-round. With microgreen gardening, small pots or trays are filled with quality soil and watered adequately before microgreen seeds are scattered onto the surface. After a few days, water needs to be applied twice daily in order to keep that soil moist. Once microgreens start sprouting they’ll want as much light as possible given their small size; this is where artificial lighting comes into play. Grow lights can help keep microgreens healthy and growing, making them perfect for anyone looking to add a little greenery to their space all year long!

How to Eat/Use Microgreens?

Microgreens are a truly unique and nutritious form of vegetable– they taste just like their full grown counterparts, except they are extra delicious and packed with micro-nutrients! Eating microgreens couldn't be more straightforward - microgreens can be eaten raw or cooked. Raw microgreens can be added to a salad for a bit of crunch, making for a healthy, colourful meal. They can also be added to smoothies and soups for an extra nutrient boost. If you want to cook with microgreens, try incorporating them into your favourite stir fry as an alternative to kale or spinach. With its many beneficial qualities, microgreens really are one of nature's superfoods!
