What are Microgreens?

After a plant has germinated, it is first called a shoot. As soon as it forms its first small leaf, it is called a microgreen. So they are a stage between a shoot and a finished plant.

Vitaminbombs

Microgreens may be small, but they are vitamin miracles. They are considered a superfood, because they contain more nutrients and vitamins than the ready-grown plants. They also have a very intense flavor.

microgreens - maximum
taste

Microgreens are very versatile. 
Fresh and raw they taste very good on bread in combination with spreads. As a garnish they enhance any dish visually and taste, you can use them in pesto, eat as a salad or even mix in smoothies.

Depending on the variety, they also taste great steamed in wok dishes or added to desserts such as ice cream, cottage cheese and refreshing drinks such as lemonades and cocktails.

Microgreens-they grow up so fast!

From sowing...

We grow the plants from seed to finished product. Already in the germination phase we take intensive care of the little plants and prepare them perfectly for the later growth phase.

...about the growth phase...

After the plants germinate in darkness, they come under the light. There they further develop especially their leaves and begin to form chlorophyll.

...to the finished product.

After 2 to 9 days, the microgreens are fully grown and have taken on their final color. Now they are ready to land fresh on the plate!

How do I store the greens?

To keep the microgreens fresh as long as possible, they are best kept in the refrigerator. If they are to be stored longer, it is recommended to keep the substrate moist so that the micros do not dry out.


Thus, the sprouts not yet harvested should remain fresh for a week, some varieties can be kept fresh in this way even longer.
