Microgreens & Window Shelf Bundle

This bundle contains two items: 1) Microgreens Growing Kit and 2) Window Shelf. 

You will need 1) a smooth clean surface, such as a window, 2) some water and 3) a measuring spoon.

Depending on the stage of development of an edible plant we give it a different name. Sometimes we eat them as seeds (grains), some as right after they germinate (sprouts), and if we let them grow a little longer they become microgreens. Microgreens are typically harvested after they have formed a pair of starter leaves, though sometimes they’ve also just started to put out their “adult” leaves. Another term you’ll see for them is “shoots” – which basically translates to “large microgreen” and is used for plants where the seedlings are larger, like peas and beans.

Microgreens are best eaten raw, 7-10 days after you 'plant' them. They are easily incorporated into most meals.

Microgreens are:

1. Incredibly healthy. They contain up to 40x the nutrient density of their adult counterparts
2. Easy to grow. No experience necessary, and not much light required. They can also be grown year-round as long as you don't let them get too cold
3. Fast to harvest. Typically you'll be harvesting and enjoying them 7-10 days after setting them up. 
4. Fun. Because they grow so quickly you'll really notice the progress from day to day. Other edible plants, by contrast, take much longer to mature.

The 'inside' of the window shelf is 12 x 4", and fits three of the 4 x 4" microgreens trays perfectly. The 'outside' width of the window shelf is roughly 12.5".
