Grow Microgreens at Home

Microgreens are the young seedlings of edible plants, such as broccoli, red cabbage, radish and rocket. They’re harvested shortly after germination, when the first leaves have developed, and are eaten fresh.

Despite their small size, microgreens can be remarkably nutrient-dense and are packed with flavour, colour and a variety of naturally occurring plant compounds.

Quick and easy to grow indoors, many varieties can be ready to harvest in just 7–10 days.

Microgreens may be tiny, but they can be remarkably nutrient-dense. Research has found that some microgreens can contain up to 40 times higher concentrations of certain nutrients than their mature plant counterparts, although levels vary depending on the variety and nutrient.

This concentration of vitamins, carotenoids and other beneficial plant compounds is why microgreens are often described as a superfood.

They’re also an easy way to add fresh greens, colour, flavour and a variety of nutrients to everyday meals.

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.

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!

Each individual seed bag contains enough seeds for approximately 3–4 harvests, depending on your container size and the variety. Our curated seed sets give you even more, with multiple varieties and plenty of fresh harvests to enjoy.

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 place your kitchen windowsill garden. There’s no need to worry about seasons – these little wonders grow 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. 

All our seeds are covered by our Happy Harvest Guarantee. If you have any issues, we’re here to help with advice and support.

We've converted thousands of plant killers into successful growers! Sharing our knowledge from urban farming we have created inclusive fool proof instructions and also have videos available that you can access should you need extra guidance. We also have a private facebook group you will be invited to join.

For best results, we recommend sowing your seeds soon after receiving them. However, if stored in a cool, dry place away from damp, seeds can remain viable for a long time.

Seeds are remarkably resilient. In fact, scientists have successfully germinated ancient seeds thousands of years old, showing just how long seeds can hold onto life when stored well.

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.
