What Are Microgreens and Why Are They Becoming Popular?
Microgreens are tender, young greens harvested just after the first true leaves appear — usually 7 to 14 days after sowing. They look delicate, but they are packed with flavor and fresh-plant nutrition, which is why they have quietly become a staple of modern healthy eating.
What exactly are microgreens?
Microgreens sit between sprouts and baby greens. They are grown in clean soil or coco peat, harvested with scissors above the root, and eaten fresh.
At Grevia, every tray is grown by hand at our Mumbai urban farm and cut to order so the greens reach your kitchen at their freshest.

Frequently asked questions
Are microgreens the same as sprouts?+
No. Sprouts are germinated seeds eaten whole with the root. Microgreens are grown in soil for 7–14 days and harvested above the root, giving them a fuller flavor and a true-leaf shape.
How long do microgreens stay fresh?+
Stored in their original Grevia pack inside the fridge, most microgreens stay crisp for 5–7 days after delivery.
Can I use microgreens in Indian cooking?+
Yes. They work beautifully on poha, dal, chaats, sandwiches, parathas, and rice bowls — added at the end so the heat does not wilt them.
