Microgreens
Microgreens are young seedlings of edible plants that are harvested when they are only a few centimetres tall. These tiny greens are packed with nutrients and flavour and have become increasingly popular in recent years as a healthy and tasty addition to meals. Microgreens can be grown from a variety of plants, including vegetables, herbs, and even some flowers. They are typically grown in soil or a growing medium such as vermiculite, and are harvested when the first true leaves appear. Microgreens can be eaten raw, added to salads, used as a garnish, or even used as a substitute for some herbs in recipes. They are easy to grow at home and offer a fun and delicious way to incorporate more fresh greens into your diet.

Radish
Radish microgreens are incredibly nutrient-dense and are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium, calcium, and iron.

Sunflower
Sunflower microgreens have a fresh, nutty flavour and a satisfying crunch, making them a popular addition to salads, sandwiches, and smoothies. They also make a great garnish for a wide range of dishes, adding both flavor and visual appeal.
Hydroponic Lettuce
Hydroponic lettuce refers to lettuce that is grown in a soil-free environment, with the plants receiving all of their necessary nutrients and water through a nutrient-rich water solution. This method of growing crops has gained popularity in recent years due to its many benefits, such as a higher yield, faster growth, and a reduced need for pesticides and herbicides.
