What Are Microgreens?

Small, nutrient-dense greens you can grow at home in 7–14 days — no soil, no garden, no experience.

New to growing? Start with the Grab & Grow Kit — everything included, just add water.

Microgreens are young vegetable greens harvested just after sprouting. Unlike sprouts, they grow in light and develop stronger flavor, color, and texture. They’re one of the easiest foods to grow indoors — even for complete beginners.

Because they grow fast, take up very little space, and don’t require soil, microgreens are perfect for kitchens, apartments, and small homes. With simple water and light, you can harvest fresh greens year-round.

Microgreens

🌱 Superfood Concentration — Up to 40x More Nutrients

According to a study by the USDA and University of Maryland, microgreens can contain 4 to 40 times more vitamins and antioxidants than mature plants.

  • 40x more vitamin E and 6x more vitamin C than the mature plant.
  • Over 3x more beta-carotene.
  • Exceptionally rich in vitamin A, C, and K.

Just one handful of microgreens can match the nutrient density of a full salad bowl — in a fresher, faster-growing form.

🧠 Better Body, Better Brain

  • 25% improvement in memory function
