Manicuring those green thumb

You never know whether you have a green thumb or not until you try! So let’s gets started. Here are some reasons why growing your own microgreens & herbs, and making sprouts is simply fabulous:

1. Microgreens can be grown with seeds that you already have Look in your kitchen! You probably already have some seeds such as mustard, cumin, sesame, flax, moong and other whole lentils, as well as coriander seeds, fenugreek, onion seeds, and chia seeds. Try growing them. Other seeds that give great microgreens are radish and sunflower. Of course the seeds must be raw and whole (not polished).

2. Sprouts can be easily made From pulses and lentils that you may have at home – moong, masoor (brown lentils) chickpeas, brown chickpeas, dried peas, matki, and other beans, legumes and even raw peanuts – all of these can be sprouted.

3. Microgreens, herbs and sprouts are nutrient rich Dress your salads, sandwiches, and other dishes with microgreens. They enhance both the look and taste of the dish.

4. Microgreens & sprouts grow in a matter of a few days You can taste them in just a few days to a week. You will experience the pleasure of watching a seedling grow and eating it. Nothing tastes better than what you have grown yourself.

5. It’s easy to have a herb garden in your kitchen Herbs are fragile and don’t last long in the fridge. Imagine having basil, coriander, parsley, mint and other herbs growing right in front of you! You can pick them fresh and garnish your food with them or add them to green smoothies.
