Microgreens are a stage between sprouts and fully grown greens, often known as Thalirkeerai in Tamil. About 4 to 40 times more nutrients are available in micro greens than their mature counterparts. Even picky eaters, especially kids, can enjoy them, offering a solution to malnutrition issues. Starting a microgreens business is affordable, with an initial investment of Rs. 5000 to 10000 only. Microgreens cultivation is ideal for women at home or students due to its low labor requirements. Seeds like fenugreek, mustard, sesame (black & white), wheat, barley, rye, green gram, black gram, horse gram, green and red amaranth, radish, cabbage, beetroot etc. can be used for micro greens purpose. Media used for cultivation of micro greens are potting mixture, coca peat, hydroponic, tissue paper etc.
