​
Micro-greens are young vegetable greens that fall between sprouts and baby leaf vegetables. Each stem has two baby leaves with concentrated nutrients and an intensified aromatic flavour. OMG grows multiple types of Micro-greens that come in different colours and textures; the varieties are superfoods, rich in antioxidants, iron, zinc, magnesium, etc.
​
OMG's micro-greens are grown with a lot of love and care. They can be used as a garnish with your meals or eaten just as is.
Micro-greens are different from sprouts mainly because of the time it takes for the harvest action process. Sprouts are harvested for 3-5 days, meaning that their only energy source is from the cotyledon.
The harvest action process for micro-greens lasts anywhere between 7-14 days, which gives them enough time to absorb the nutrients from light (during the photosynthesis cycle), and soil. This leads to a plethora of phytonutrients like carotenoids and α-tocopherol (Vitamin E), which help in maintaining good health and well-being.
Micro-greens are the first two true leaves packed with concentrated nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to their mature plants. Adding microgreens to your diet is a sustainable and healthy option because:
-
They quickly grow, with a cycle of 7-21 days.
-
Microgreens are filled with phytonutrients and antioxidants, making them a good source of Vitamins E, C, and K.
-
Many varieties of micro-greens are loaded with Beta-Carotene, a forerunner of Vitamin A, making it beneficial for your overall health, including immunity and vision.
-
Microgreens also add a lot of flavor and color to your meals.
At OMG, we offer a plethora of micro greens. Having carefully worked on microgreens, we are proud to say that we have mastered the art of growing multiple greens.
