Fresh microgreens on potting soil

Microgreens are plant seeds that are germinated on potting soil while sprouts are seeds that are germinated in pots without substrate. Microgreens require less maintenance than sprouts which must be rinsed twice a day, sometimes more in some cases.

Alfalfa (large) to sprout – Organic

5.95$ - 9.25$
4.46$ - 6.94$

This alfalfa is distinguished from the common variety by the imposing size of its germinations. Like its relative, it is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and the saponins it contains help to fight bad cholesterol. We love it in salads and sandwiches.
