To grow microgreens

Aim: To kickstart a microgreens growing project in conjunction with the kind backing and aid of Bristol Rainforest.org in St Pauls.

Growing microgreens is not only fun and exciting as microgreens are an immensely healthy supplement to ordinary diets, but growing microgreens actually provides growth for a type of development in the brain vulnerable people cherish.

It is said the brain grows parallel to  the microgreens' growth cycle.

Growing microgreens is a short 14 day cycle, 7 of which they are growing in the dark and the other seven are spent under UV lights, after which the tray of what started out as hundreds of tiny seeds is ready to be cropped and eaten.

Anyone can grow microgreens including disabled or vulnerable people and our project aim at bringing an opportunity to a handful of vulnerable adults in Bristol to involve themselves in regularly attending to growing these vital nutrients packed greens 

You can eat microgreens on their own, add them to salads, sandwiches, soups etc.

Restaurant owners go nuts for locally grown, fresh microgreens and our small projects aims to target some local restaurateurs and health food stores to establish regular purchase of our produce.

Microgreens are excellent for children in general, as well as for their healing qualities for cancer patients, diabetics, and the frail.  Regular consumption of microgreens strengthens bones, blood circulatory system, digestive tract and several functions in the brain.
