GROW YOUR OWN GREENS

The idea for Micropod began when Jeff Xu tried to grow microgreens after hearing about the superfood’s high nutritional value. Microgreens are the seedlings of leafy greens, vegetables and herbs, and they can have up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts. However cultivating microgreens from scratch proved tedious and time-consuming for Jeff, so he set out to design the perfect way to grow them at home. Launched in 2019 in NZ and the following year in Australia, Micropod is a grow-at-home kit which includes a bamboo fibre tray, honeycomb grills and seedmats that are embedded with untreated and non-GMO microgreen seeds. Simply add water to your Micropod and in seven to 15 days you can harvest fresh, delicious and highly nutritious microgreens.
