Recent studies have proven that microgreens offer extreme nutritional density - offering 6x the vitamins and nutrients than their fully grown counterparts! When it comes to nutrition, sometimes all you need to do is think small. #urbanproduce #quote #quoted #wordsofwisdom #fall #organic #living #local #hydroponics #microgreens #oc #orangecounty #cheflife #culinary #chefsofinstagram #urbangardenersrep #healing #sustainable #sustainability #agriculture #nongmo

Grow Microgreens Without Soil

Often confused with “sprouts,” microgreens only comprise the above-ground parts of the plant, rather than everything from root to shoot.

My article, at Hobby Farms

Microgreens are nutritionally dense and space-saving versions of common edible crops, that can easily be cultivated without soil in even the most primitive of windowsill gardens. Often confused with “sprouts,” microgreens only comprise the above-ground parts of the plant, rather than everything from root to shoot. They are harvested one to two weeks after sowing, rather than after a few days, and are sown on a growing substrate.

Like sprouts, microgreens are eaten while in the early stages of a plant’s growth, but unlike sprouts, they have time and opportunity to take up nutrients from their substrate; thus, they can pack a more impressive nutritional and fibre punch. A study of 25 commercially available microgreens showed that when compared to mature leaves of the same plants, microgreens had significantly elevated levels of phytonutrients like carotenoids, ascorbic acids, and other assorted vitamins and antioxidants.
