We all love that artistic piece of green leaf that is sprinkled on top of our meal at a restaurant. The beauty of this green is that it not only looks good, but it is good for you as well. These delicate greens can be grown in your own home and you can add your own to make that special salad.

Edible plants like basil make a perfect micro green to grow in your own home. You don’t need a big garden to grow these mini greens, just a small area. In no time you will have a micro green plant that is tasty, nutritious and looks good with your meal.

Here’s how to grow your own micro greens:
1. If you wish to, you can grow these plants in your kitchen. Get a seed tray ready and layer it with an inch of compost. Sow the seeds into the tray, apply them liberally and add some water.
2. Place the tray in a warm, sunny room or on a windowsill where you know they will be exposed to light. Cut the shoots when they reach about 2 inches and it should take about 5 to 12 days, depending on the season.
3. Add your freshly grown garnish to your meal and you’re away.
