Microgreen is a natural source of nutrients and it is a superfood.
Being proved that it is effective to enhance the immune system and prevent high-risk diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
According to the report from USDA, microgreens contain 50 times cancer-fighting benefits than mature vegetables.
It contains rich amino acids, minerals, and natural enzymes.
When the seeds germinate, the enzymes within the cells are activated.
These enzymes assist the breaking down of starch, protein, and fats into glucose and amino acids, which assist the sprout in growing its roots, buds, stems, and leaves
When we consume these fresh sprouts, we will absorb their rich and active enzymes.
Enzymes are normally destroyed at a temperature from 55°c onwards.
Hence, it is recommended that the sprouts be taken raw or lightly boiled.
STEPS FOR CULTIVATION
Fill the pot with 3 to 4 cm of water, allowing the surface to touch the cultivation net. (Use either filtered or cooled boiled water and tap water is not recommended.)
Spread the seeds evenly over the cultivation net and change the water once every 3 days.
Vegetables are ready for serving in 1 to 2 weeks.
Repeat the processes above for your next batch.
NOTES
It is recommended to use good quality seeds with high germinate that have not been genetically modified.
During the initial budding stage, there will be signs of white filaments, which function to assist in the transportation of water and minerals to the roots, stems, and leaves.
