REPORT ON  PROJECT - MICROGREEN

As a part of nature club we initiated a project ' microgreen’  in March . Under the guidance of Mrs.Binitha Chacko, we, six members of nature club selected a new venture microgreen to introduce among all the student teachers of Navajyothi college. Microgreens are the  vegetable greens which  harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed with one set of true leaves.  They are used as a nutrition supplement, a visual enhancement, a flavor and a texture enhancement. Our major goal of this venture was to aware the students about the significance of microgreens, make ready them to prepare and utilize it. Instead of soil, we can made this in tissue and news paper.

For a pilot study, we 6 members of club, prepared the microgreens in our own house using green gram. We sowned the seed in three trays which contained soil, tissue paper and news paper. It takes about 5 – 6 days for harvest.

To familiarize about this concept to the students of all department, we prepared the microgreens with green gram in three trays as common in class room on March 13. We got the full support from our teachers. It took one week to grow flourishly. On 21^st March we harvested the microgreens.  Student from each  class  prepared  delicious food for all. It was such an encouraging one and every one actively participated in this activity by taking care  the seedlings at each stage.

From next week onwards , we asked all students of each department to prepare the microgreen in their home individually.  It would also enable them to introduce this concept before everyone’s  family. Using microgreen,  most students prepared varieties of food like salads, curry, methi Paratha etc…  We got valuable comments and support from all students, teachers and principal.
