Our top 6 reasons why Microgreens are so Mighty!

GROW ALL YEAR ROUND
Who says you can't grow all year round in the UK? You can with Teeny Greeny - even in the depths of Winter when we have shorter days and much colder nights it's possible!

3
EVEN WITHOUT A GARDEN
We’re here to prove that growing your own nutritious food is easy, even without a garden. Teeny Greenies thrive on windowsills, shelves, and even on top of the fridge. As long as have some light they will grow!

BOOST YOUR HEALTH BENEFITS
Containing 40X the nutrients than the mature plants, Microgreens are a great source of many nutrients we need. They all include beta carotene, carotenoids, lutein, zeathanthin, vitamin C, vitamin K , calcium , polyphenols (also called Antioxidants).

SIMPLE & QUICK TO GROW
Ready to eat within 7-10 days - add them to salads, smoothies, sprinkle them over soups, stir them into stews and add them to stir-fries, curries, risottos, pasta bakes, and casseroles – the sky’s your limit!

ENHANCE YOUR WELL-BEING
Research suggests being in the general proximity of plants is beneficial for our mental health. Growing your own greens gives you something tangible to focus on. Plants give you the opportunity to be creative and help reduce stress.

I’ve attempted growing sprouting seeds before with little success. This kit has changed that. I’ve finally got the right tools to grow my micro greens and I’ve really enjoyed nurturing them and watching them grow. I think I’m hooked!
Beautifully packaged kit, easy to use. It's great to have the small bamboo trays for growing. Other kits I've seen have large trays which don't work for me at all. The small trays are perfect. Seeds in tins and a scoop to use to sprinkle them makes it so easier to control the number of seeds going into the tray, and avoids the problems of paper packets that split.
Absolutely delighted with my order from Teeny Greeny ... everything you need to grow tasty nutritional micro greens ... quick and easy to grow and plenty of seeds / trays / compost to grow a really good supply of healthy mini greens . Excellent service and very quick delivery. Highly recommend.
"I've found the whole process super simple. The instructions are all there - you just need to watch the videos. I constantly have trays on the go - they are super delicious! I'm hooked!"
"Teeny Greeny's video course is a great way to learn all you could need to know about growing microgreens at home and getting the benefits of fresh green food, even in winter and without a garden. The lessons take you through all the growing steps for each variety of crop, it's almost like having an experienced grower by your elbow as you sow, grow and harvest!"
Answers to our most frequently asked questions
What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the young seedlings of newly germinated, edible plants, such as broccoli, red cabbage and radish. These young shoots are up to nine times denser in nutrients, antioxidants and polyphenols, than their older, larger plants, making them not only very tasty but also bursting with health benefits.
What makes Mircogreens so good for me?
All Microgreens contain Beta carotene from which the body makes vitamin A, Carotenoids – lutein and zeathanthin, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Calcium, Polyphenols (formerly called Antioxidants). In addition to the nutrients listed above, each Microgreen has a good source of other nutrients available in our health benefits section.
How do I use Microgreens?
You can add them to salads, smoothies, sprinkle them over soups, stir them into stews and add them to stir-fries, curries, risottos, pasta bakes and casseroles – the sky’s the limit!
Can I grow Microgreens without a garden?
Microgreens are incredibly easy to grow, even for the least green-fingered of people! Whether you live in a studio apartment or a sprawling mansion, you only need a small space to plant your kitchen windowsill garden - if you do not have a windowsill a shelf will do the job and there’s no need to worry about seasons – these little wonders grow all year round!
I am a serial plant killer - how do I know this will work for me?
We've converted thousands of plant killers into successful growers! We have a friendly community within our private facebook group that you can access should you need extra guidance.
Can I grow Microgreens all year round?
Yes! That is one of the many benefits of microgreens. They can be grown on your windowsill or any shelf inside your home all year round.
How long do seeds keep before I use them?
For best results sow the seeds soon after getting them – why wait? However, if you store the seeds in a cool dry place and they are not damp then they will stay viable for a long time. In 2005 seeds known to be 2000 years old, from a Judean date palm, excavated in Israel, germinated!
What's the true value of your kits?
Our micrology single tin grow kits come with around 3,000 organic seeds, organic growing medium coir, inclusive instructions and a wooden measuring spoon, all hand-packed into a British manufactured steel tin for you to grow your own Microgreens in.
Our larger kits come with 6 reusable bamboo trays and 3-5 re-usable tins, containing 18,000 seeds in total. When previously operating as an urban farm we would retail our fresh Microgreen Punnets for £3.50 per 30g. Think of Microgreens being one of the best supplements you can add to your daily diet! All our kits are replenishable and we offer you support and guidance at every step within our private growing group.
You won't find fresher or tastier greens than if you were to grow your own!
Isn’t it just cress?
Confusingly, the term ‘cress’ also has a second meaning. Once a sprout grows its first leaves, it becomes a cress. Microgreens are harvested when they have developed their first set of leaves which are called cotyledons. Depending on the Kit you choose we have over 16 varieties of Microgreens available.
What are your shipping details?
We ship most of our products Tuesdays & Thursdays with the Royal Mail. We offer free shipping on orders over £50.
