The benefits

One small box a day is a genuine upgrade to your family's nutrition. Here's what the greens in our shop do for you.

Heart health

Broccoli and red cabbage microgreens are rich in sulforaphane and anthocyanins that support healthy cholesterol and blood pressure.

Immunity shield

Dense in vitamins C, E and K plus zinc — a small handful of sunflower or radish greens covers a big share of your daily needs.

Brain & focus

Polyphenols and vitamin K in pea shoots and amaranth support memory, focus and long-term cognitive health.

Gut-friendly

Living enzymes and gentle fibre make microgreens easy to digest — they feed the good bacteria in your gut.

Skin & hair glow

Antioxidants fight free-radical damage; vitamin E and chlorophyll support clearer skin and stronger hair from within.

Natural detox

Wheatgrass is a chlorophyll powerhouse — a daily shot supports liver function and helps flush out toxins.

Diabetic-friendly

Fenugreek (methi) microgreens are traditionally used to support healthy blood-sugar levels — with a milder flavour than seeds.

For every age

Soft textures and mild flavours make sunflower and pea shoots an easy first green for kids — and a gentle boost for elders.

Good to know

New to microgreens? Four things every first-time buyer should understand.

What exactly are microgreens?

Young vegetable greens harvested 7–14 days after germination, just after the first true leaves appear. They are not sprouts — sprouts are eaten seed-and-root within 2–3 days, while microgreens are cut above the soil line, making them safer and far more flavourful.

How to eat them

No cooking needed — heat destroys their delicate enzymes. Rinse gently, pat dry, and scatter over salads, dal, khichdi, sandwiches, smoothies, parathas or curd. Add them at the very end, right before serving.

Storing them right

Keep refrigerated in the breathable box we deliver in. They stay fresh 5–7 days. Wash only what you use — moisture shortens shelf life. Because ours are harvested to order, yours arrive at peak life, not days old.

Grown clean, near you

Aarav Greens grows in controlled trays at our Palam farms using RO water, food-grade coco substrate and zero pesticides. Indoor growing means no dust, no pollution, no monsoon contaminants — just clean greens.
