FAQ
Q: “I K*ll houseplants, can I be successful with microgreens?”
A- YES! Growing microgreens is much easier than the long-term commitment of houseplants. With less than 2 minutes per day, your microgreens will be ready to harvest and eat in 10 days. This way of growing is super simple.
Q: “I grow sprouts. Are these any different?”
A: YES! Microgreens are not only much safer and easier to grow than sprouts, they are also up to 20% more nutritious- for just a couple of days more growth. Sprouts are the ‘infants’ of the veggie world, microgreens are the ‘toddlers’ that have already begun making nutrients through photosynthesis, increasing the nutrition in the greens substantially.
Q- “Will kids eat microgreens?”
A- YES! Microgreens are tasty- and you don’t need to eat as much as you would full-grown vegetables, making them easier to add to children’s meals. They are also easy to hide in a meal!
