We all know we should try to eat more greens, and this is a really easy way to do it. You can grow your very own microgreens with this handy kit that includes purple basil, watercress, sunflowers, peas, radish, and beetroot at home. While you'll probably have had microgreens as a colourful garnish in fancy restaurants, they don't just make your dishes look pretty, because you harvest them in their early growth, they have a high nutritional value and a more intense flavour.

The kit contains 6 packets of seeds, 3 growing trays, 3 substrate tablets, a spray bottle, and a botanical guide. Basically, everything you need to get growing. Pop the substrate in the tray and cover with water to let it hydrate, crumble it to make soil, and spread with seed and press them down gently. Cover for a couple of days and keep in a warm place, away from direct sunlight. Once the plants start to sprout, you can uncover them and give them a bit of light, a windowsill is perfect, and water them regularly. Once they reach 5-6 cm (usually about a week), they are ready to harvest and eat. 

A great gift for any foodie, home veggie grower, or indoor plant lover - they are even great for kids learning about growing and sustainability.
