If mealtimes need a bit of livening up and you want to have a go at ‘growing your own’ from the comfort of your kitchen, Johnsons offers a range of microgreens seeds, which can all be grown on an indoor windowsill, all year round.
A quick and simple way to add a splash of colour and taste to dishes, microgreens are virtually ‘instant’ vegetables that can be grown indoors. Easy to grow, some varieties can be ready to pick in as little as two weeks, with the nutrient-rich leaves providing a fresh intensity to meals.
To get you started, Johnsons range includes the Microgreens Growing Kit – a high quality reusable growing tray and three packets of seeds. With an RRP of just £4.99, it’s perfect to get budding home chefs inspired. Also available is a collection of eight popular microgreens including beetroot, fenugreek and radish for leaf, available to buy separately with RRPs starting from £2.20. And once the ‘micro leaves’ are ready, Johnsons Micro Snips (RRP £3.99), with spring action handles and a compact size, are an easy way to harvest your crops.
If you’ve got space left on the windowsill why not also try your hand at growing sprouting seeds – for an added healthy crunch and taste to dishes. Johnsons Kitchen Seed Sprouter (RRP £11.99), is a convenient and economical way to produce fresh seed sprouts such as alfalfa and mung beans, as well as the baby leaves of microgreens.
