January is here, and so is the perfect opportunity to embrace Veganuary — the global movement inspiring millions to explore plant-based eating for health, sustainability, and compassion. Unwins Seeds is here to make your Veganuary journey both delicious and rewarding with its versatile range of microgreens seeds.
Packed with nutrients, bursting with flavour, and incredibly fast and easy to grow, microgreens are the ultimate ingredient to elevate your plant-based meals.
Small Greens, Big Impact
Microgreens are the young, tender shoots of vegetables and herbs, harvested just after germination when their nutrients are at their peak. Perfect for salads, sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, and more. The Unwins’ microgreens packs include:
- Mustard Red Frills: Tasty peppery flavours packed with nutrients
- Red Cabbage: A vibrant, nutrient-rich addition to slaws and bowls
With many other varieties available, including Chickpeas and Mung beans, there’s something to complement every Veganuary recipe.
Grow Your Own Vegan Superfood
Going plant-based doesn’t get fresher than this. Microgreens are very easy to grow, even for beginners. In just a few weeks, you can harvest your greens from the comfort of your kitchen windowsill. They require minimal effort, no garden space, and provide an instant sense of accomplishment. Just sow the seeds evenly in seed compost, or even on moist kitchen paper in small containers, and keep them moist. You can even create a makeshift mini greenhouse using the lid from a fruit punnet. Harvest them when you’re ready to serve your dish.
Why Choose Microgreens for Veganuary?
- Nutrient-Packed: Microgreens are up to 40 times more nutrient-dense than their mature counterparts, making them a powerful addition to a plant-based diet – a real helping hand to newcomers to veganism
- Versatile and Delicious: Their bold flavours and delicate textures enhance everything from hearty salads, avocado toast, to even a homemade pesto
- Sustainable: Growing microgreens at home reduces food miles and waste, aligning perfectly with Veganuary’s eco-conscious ethos.
Transform Your January (and Beyond)
By incorporating Unwins microgreens into your Veganuary, you’re not just eating plant-based—you’re embracing a lifestyle of health, creativity, and sustainability, and you might even discover new flavours. If growing microgreens awakens your passion for gardening, January is the perfect month to get ahead with seed sowing – aubergines, asparagus and chillis all need to be given as long a season as possible to achieve a great harvest. All you’ll need is some seeds from Unwins, some good quality seed sowing compost such as Westland Seed & Cutting compost, seed trays, and a windowsill or two to get started.
