The future of human space missions relies on the ability to provide adequate food resources for astronauts and also to reduce stress due to the environment (microgravity and cosmic radiation). 🚀

In this context, microgreens have been proposed for the astronaut diet because of their fast-growing time and their high levels of bioactive compounds and nutrients (vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, etc.), which are even higher than mature plants, and are usually consumed as ready-to-eat vegetables. 🥦

Did you know about the incredible benefits packed in these tiny greens? 🧐

Microgreens, the young seedlings of edible plants, are a powerhouse of phytochemicals like essential minerals, polyphenols, carotenoids, chlorophyll, anthocyanins, and glucosinolates.

These compounds bring in high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects, making microgreens a practical addition to our diets that could potentially improve or attenuate chronic diseases including diabetes, chronic kidney disorder, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, obesity, and iron deficiency!

We harvested our first grow! 🫛

Everything turned out great and reviews have been favourable. The crowd favorite is definitely the Triton Radish: it's got a mild peppery taste and a spicy kick!

My personal favourite is the Speckled Peas though. Sweet and refreshing.

The Arugula came up a bit short. I'll increase the blackout period to help them get a little taller next time. These guys are PACKED with flavour. Peppery, nutty, and tender.

A small update on our first crop. Still, we're about four days to go before harvest.
