If you’re new to microgreens, you’re about to discover one of the simplest ways to improve your daily nutrition naturally. These tiny, flavorful greens are becoming a favourite in homes, restaurants, and fitness circles – and for good reason. Despite their size, microgreens pack anywhere from 4x to 40x more nutrients compared to mature vegetables.

In this first blog post, let’s explore what microgreens are, why they’re so powerful, and how you can easily add them to your everyday meals.

What Are Microgreens?

Microgreens are young, tender plants harvested just 7-14 days after germination. They’re not sprouts- they grow in cocopeat or soil-like mediums and develop real leaves, flavour, and a complete nutrient profile.

At MomesGreen, we grow microgreens in clean cocopeat, using only purified water and natural light. No soil. No pesticides. No chemicals.

Why Are Microgreens So Nutritious?

Microgreens concentrate nutrients because they are harvested at the peak stage of growth. This means:

• Higher levels of vitamins A, B, C, E, and K
• Rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, and folate
• Loaded with antioxidants
• A great source of plant-based protein
• High in digestive enzymes

These nutrients support immunity, digestion, metabolism, and glowing skin – naturally.

How to Use Microgreens in Daily Meals

One of the best things about microgreens is how versatile they are. They don’t require cooking and can be added directly to meals.

Here are a few easy ideas:

✔ Add to salads for crunch and freshness

✔ Blend into smoothies for a nutrient boost

✔ Top sandwiches, dosas, and rotis

✔ Mix into omelettes, soups, and khichdi

✔ Use as garnish for pastas, rice bowls, or Indian curries

A small pinch goes a long way!

Types of Microgreens You Can Try

Every microgreen has its own flavour and benefit. Some popular ones include:

• Sunflower – Crunchy & protein rich
• Radish – Spicy, bold flavour
• Wheatgrass – Best for detox
• Amaranthus – Great for daily iron intake
• Methi (Fenugreek) – Good for digestion
• Mustard – Strong flavour, high in Vitamin C

Try mixing different varieties for a balanced nutrient profile.

Freshness Matters – Why We Harvest on Order

Microgreens lose nutrients quickly once harvested.
That’s why at MomesGreen, we cut them only after your order is placed.

This ensures:

• Maximum nutrition
• Maximum flavour
• Longer shelf life
• Cleaner, safer greens

Your box reaches you fresh, crisp, and full of life.

This is just the beginning of your green journey — and we’re excited to be part of it.
