  • 3:12 PM

Microgreens last longer than regular greens and have many health benefits. But because of the high price, it is not so pleasant to buy it. You can also grow an additive on your own windowsill – from ordinary flax seeds.

Flaxseed microgreens are often used to decorate dishes in restaurants. Unlike other types of greens, it has a more neutral flavor that pairs well with meats and salads, as well as some desserts. What can we say about the benefits – like seeds, flax sprouts are rich not only in vitamins and minerals, but also in important omega acids.

If you want, you can try growing micro flax at home. These greens grow quickly – in a few days the first harvest will appear.

What you need to sprout microgreens

  • Flaxseeds – be careful that they are not fried, otherwise you will not wait for the sprouts to appear

  • Plastic tray – absolutely anything you find at home or buy in a store

  • A jute mat for sprouting greens – a large set of several dozen mats will cost a few hundred rubles, you can buy it at any market. On this basis, the root system of microgreens develops better and the chances of growing a large crop increase.
  • Gauze – or any thin fabric
