What are micro greens?

Micro greens are seedlings of herbs and vegetables. Instead of allowing the plant to reach full size before harvesting, micro greens are grown for less time and harvested when they’re still seedlings.

Micro greens may be small, but they pack a punch. They’re rich in nutrients, and full of intense flavour. And because they take a matter of days to grow, you can quickly have a supply of lovely fresh greens to add flavour and texture to your cooking.

Micro greens are perfect for growing on a windowsill, so you don’t even need a garden to grow your own. Growing small batches regularly is a great way to limit waste too.

Silly Greens letterbox seed packs take all the effort out of growing micro greens. They’re a great option if you’re not keen on growing your own, or simply don’t have time to stay on top of regular seed sowing.

Each box contains three different greens. The seeds are sown thickly onto plant-based soil-free mats, and are starting to grow by the time the box pops through your door. All you have to do is remove the lid, let the plants grow for a few days, then use them in your cooking. The box itself is recyclable, and doubles up as the growing tray.

You can choose to receive a Silly Greens box every week, every fortnight, every four weeks, or every six weeks. The prize on offer is the fortnightly option. You can stop and start your boxes as you wish, and you only pay for boxes that are posted out.

Such a low-effort way to have access to flavour-packed greens, isn’t it? I also love the fact that Silly Greens come direct from the farm, removing a good chunk of the supply chain and it’s associated environmental impact. It’s great that you can discover crops that aren’t available from the supermarket too.

How would you use micro greens to jazz up your cooking?

  3. As well as using them in my salads, I think they’d be nice sprinkled on top of other veg like broccoli or sprinkled on top of soup.

  6. Am very new to microgreens so we would have to learn but I would guess one can use them in salads while learning

  12. I like to add them to anything with chips or sweet potato fries, salads, soups and to add to stews

  13. Fantastic giveaway. Excellent way to add more flavour to food. Love that the packaging is recyclable.

  14. I would add them to salads, sandwiches and stir fries. Or use as finishing touches on smoothie bowls.

  16. What a great idea! I’d use them on sandwiches. I really miss salad now I’m getting shopping delivered – I just don’t trust it to be fresh enough when someone else is selecting it.

  21. they would be perfect to add to fried rice dishes as well as for toppings on pizza and bread

  22. We have a salad as part of our main meal at least 3 times a week and to stop it being boring, we vary the ingredients! This would be a great way of doing this!

  28. I bought this sort of thing for my daughter for Xmas – she is thrilled with it so I’d love to win this and have a go at growing my own!

  33. I am sure I could some in a risotto, I would do some research to see what else I could do.

  34. I am a veggie so these would be great to put on salads, cauliflower cheese and most other meals to add a little extra goodness for an already convert.

  39. These would be great for adding more veg to our daily meals, and I think my 5yo would be intrigued enough to eat them!

  40. These would be used in salads and soups as I start to transition into a near-raw vegan diet ahead of the spring season.

  42. Love microgreens – they make every meal look like a posh restaurant meal! I’d use them even in a nice dessert or to make a starter look lovely. On soup they’d look good too.

  43. I would use them to add extra flavour to most things I cook, soups & casseroles, curries, flatbreads, salads and stir fries etc.. The possibilities are endless!

  45. I’ll snip and sprinkle micro greens on anything, even soup, jacket potatoes and pasta! I am trying to increase the amount of fresh raw food I eat, how to have healthy biomes in my belly. Silly greens look perfect for me and I love the recyclable packaging!

  47. As a garnish, I only need add a sprinkle,
    to give every meal that Silly Greens twinkle.
    In curries and coleslaw, on pasta and pies,
    in sandwiches, soups, with fajitas and fries.
    There are so many dishes I’m dying to savour,
    cos tho micro in size … but double the flavour!

  49. I use them to encourage my toddler to eat new flavours and textures and experience new tastes. We would also grow them together

  70. They would taste lovely, but I would also use them as decoration over the top to make it look delicious

  73. i’d pop them in sandwiches or on baked potatoes – i think my kids would like them too – i can see me snipping them into veg curries!

  77. I eat loads of salads so would mainly use them in those. Would also add them to vegetables when I juice them.

  84. I cook most of our meals from scratch so I would love using these as an addition to salads and alongside pastries or sprinkled over soups and casseroles.

  86. I’d love to experiment with these lovely fresh greens in different salads with various fruit and veg
