Microgreens are an answer to the urban planter’s inaccessibility to proper farming methods. One can grow them using urban appliances, with soil or as hydroponics (only with growing medium, water and nutrients). They are very easy to grow and you can grow them in a pot or a kit already available at your home or office.
Plant growers who are new to the concept of growing microgreens often find themselves confused about which vegetable or plant can be grown as a microgreen. There are many types of plants that you can grow as Microgreens: pea shoots, pak choi, purple cabbage, mustard leaves, purple and
pink radish, basil, corn shoots, amaranth, swiss chard, cilantro, broccoli, beet, sunflower, wheatgrass, brussel sprouts, onions and more. Most of these are available at All That Grows!

Apart from being super healthy and nutritious, microgreens are also famous for being low maintenance and easy to grow. All you need is the seed, light, a container, soil and water.
For outdoor kitchen gardens, the process is pretty much similar to a normal plant. Avoid watering them too much and use a spray bottle to make the soil damp after planting the seed. If you are growing the seeds indoors, make sure they get at least four hours of sunlight in a day. Always use organic potting mix.
Once grown they can be stored at 38-40℉ degrees in a closed air tight container. They can survive for 5-8 days in a refrigerator.
