Microgreens are excellent sources of high-quality protein and are easy to digest. They are live multivitamin tablets available in nature.
At first glance, microgreens look like sprouts but they are the seedlings of various vegetables that are harvested at an early growth stage. Microgreens are a superfood rich in macro and
micronutrients. Even a handful of microgreens are enough to energize your salads and wraps.
What are the health benefits of microgreens?
They are densely packed with vitamins and minerals. Hence, when added to any kind of food they increase its nutritional value:
Reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases - rich in fiber and vitamin K, microgreens reduce blood pressure and increase heart health

Why grow microgreens at home?
Microgreens can be grown organically at your own small place. This will not only save money but also teach you to grow plants at a small-scale in an urban setting.
Microgreens are rich in vitamins and minerals that we can consume fresh, instead of popping vitamin supplements. Hence growing them by yourselves is ideal.
They are live foods. When you eat live and fresh- the Prana or energy of the food is high, which energizes your meal to a great extent.
The time and effort spent on the growing process also makes you mindful and involved.
Involving kids in this process can encourage them to eat greens
