Get Into Home Gardening With These Microgreens Starter Kits in Singapore

If you haven't tried growing your own microgreens yet, now is the time to start. Although you can easily buy these at the chilled produce section of your favourite grocery store, you can just as simply grow them at home in little pots or containers on your kitchen windowsill or counter.

Microgreens are seedlings of plants, usually tiny sprout forms of vegetables and herbs like beets, arugula, amaranth, spinach, chives, lettuce, Swiss chard, and more. Microgreens punctuate sandwiches, are sprinkled on soups and salads, and are even used as a garnish in dishes.

Microgreens are believed to contain potent levels of vitamins and minerals. According to WebMD, certain microgreens can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and support gut health. Moreover, they make for nice starter plant babies when you're just getting your green thumb groove on.
