Book excerpt: Have you ever thought about starting a new business that doesn't require a lot of time, space, and investment? In this book, I want to tell you about this new business idea that can allow you to make a thousand dollars or more a week! Microgreens are a new category of vegetables that are harvested shortly after the first set of true leaves form. Some chefs in California have been using them since the mid-1980s, but the demand for microgreens has only recently grown exponentially. That's because microgreens are healthy foods that contain many more nutrients than plants harvested at an advanced stage of maturity. For this reason, they are recommended by nutritionists and are popular among healthy lifestyle enthusiasts and environmentally conscious people. Growing microgreens is quick and easy, with most microgreen varieties reaching a harvestable size in about two weeks, allowing for up to two dozen harvests in a year. Only some basic equipment is needed, and you don't have to worry too much about the plants. You can grow microgreens in a spare room of your house or in a small garage. Once or twice a week, you can harvest and sell your microgreens. In this book you will find: Which microgreens are best to start with, which are the easiest to grow, and which are the most difficult Step-by-step instructions for soil and hydroponic growing methods.
