Discover more about microgreens

Small in size. Vibrant in colour. Full of flavour and nutritional value.

Microgreens may be small, but they bring a remarkable mix of colour, flavour and nutritional value to every plate. Harvested shortly after germination, these young edible plants are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. From the peppery kick of radish to the sweetness of pea shoots, each variety gives chefs and home cooks a fresh way to make food look and taste more memorable.

A small plant with a powerful story

Microgreens = Superfood

Fresh until the moment of use

Hy-Farm's microgreens can travel as living plants in the same containers in which they were grown. Delivered this way, their colour, texture and flavour stay close at hand, ready to be harvested when the chef or customer needs them.

Small plants, valuable nutrients

Microgreens are known for their high content of vitamins, minerals and antioxidant compounds. Research has found that many varieties can contain higher concentrations of specific nutrients than their mature counterparts, giving these vibrant young plants nutritional value as well as culinary appeal.

A variety for every menu

From sweet pea shoots and nutty sunflower to peppery radish, broccoli and mustard, every variety brings its own colour, texture and personality. This range gives restaurants and customers countless ways to explore microgreens across different dishes.

Young plants, harvested at their most distinctive stage

Microgreens are harvested shortly after germination, when the cotyledons and first true leaves begin to develop. At this young stage, each variety already carries its recognisable colour, flavour and texture.

Vertical indoor growing has practical benefits

Consistent quality

A controlled indoor environment allows growers to manage light, irrigation and crop conditions more consistently, supporting repeatable production and product quality.

Time

In controlled hydroponic conditions, some crops can reach harvest up to 30% faster than comparable conventional growing. The result depends on the species, system and growing conditions.

Efficient use of space

Vertical layouts use multiple growing levels within a compact area, helping growers organise production, monitoring and harvesting efficiently.

Hydroponic system

Indoor hydroponic systems reduce direct exposure to outdoor weather and can support production across seasons. Consistent results still depend on equipment, crop management and environmental control.

Automation

Lighting, irrigation and environmental parameters can be continuously monitored and partly automated for each crop. Automation supports consistency and reduces repetitive manual work, while regular inspection, hygiene and crop care remain essential.

Resource efficiency

Closed recirculating hydroponic systems can reuse water and nutrient solution, reducing losses through drainage compared with open systems. Actual savings depend on the crop, equipment, operating method and maintenance.
