How to germinate Microgreens?

Microgreens are gaining attention from small, medium, and large growers. This is a product that can be used to expand a current market or start a small business with good profits.

Microgreens are defined by the USDA as edible greens that germinate from the seeds of vegetables and herbs and are harvested without roots at the seedling stage. This product is harvested when cotyledons are fully developed. The cotyledon's function within a plant is to supply nutrients to the seedling. The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) researchers tested about 25 varieties of microgreens for their nutrient levels and found on average they had about five times greater levels of vitamins than their mature counterparts. This is why microgreens are referred to as a superfood product.

Microgreens can be grown at home, inside greenhouses, and plant factories. The most common way of production for this product is inside plant factories using vertical farming systems. This system allows you to produce higher yield in less space providing ideal environmental conditions.

In this video, you will learn the key methodology to germinate microgreens successfully!
