A little peep inside the room π§
Our greens are loving the tropical climate in there.
24C and 50% humidity is what they thrive in. A bit of low energy consuming LED light and water. That is all they get, plus our unconditional love and attention of course ππ₯°.

SUNFLOWER
Sunflower is a variety that requires a bit of extra work. It is due to the fact, that if a husk stays attached to the leaf for too long, it leaves a mark, which doesn't look pretty. So to help the husks fall off quicker, we give the sunflowers a gentle strokeπ once a day. Yes, we really do stroke our microgreensπ.
And we also carefully inspect the seedlingsπ§ before packing them into punnets to make sure you get the best looking ones π€©.
The rejected ones usually end up on our plate, as they are just as delicious and nutritious as the pretty ones. Just like the wonky vegetables, nothing wrong with them at all, they just look a bit different π.
