Why this matters
Microgreens grow in days, not months, and pack more nutrition than full-grown plants. A single tray on a shelf gives you fresh greens almost year-round.
What you need
A shallow tray, a thin layer of soil, and fast-growing seeds like beans, peas, or radish.
These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.
How to do it
Follow these steps in order. Take your time. You’ve got this.
Spread a thin layer of soil in a shallow tray and scatter seeds thickly across the surface.
Mist with water, keep the soil damp, and place the tray in bright but indirect light.
Snip the greens with scissors once they have their first small leaves, usually in one to two weeks.
Your one thing today
