Let's discover together the world of microgreens and how you can easily create your own small garden in your kitchen.

What are microgreens? 

Essentially, they are vegetables that are harvested at a very early stage of their life cycle, shortly after they sprout their first leaves.

Usually, they are no larger than 10 centimeters.

What are their benefits? 

Apart from the very exciting cultivation process, microgreens have multiple health benefits, as they are rich in nutrients and, in fact, most of the time they have a higher concentration of vitamins and trace elements than full-sized vegetables! 

There are 2 main ways to prepare your own.
