Think about your budget. We have to budget for food, nutritional supplements, toiletries, clothing, transportation and entertainment. Oh yes, let's not forget insurance and taxes, which seem to eat up most of our finances, well mine anyway.
When looking at the above list, what do you think gets cut first? More than likely, nutritional supplements. Then we try to cut our food expenses by buying cheaper quality. Let's stop there and look at nutritional supplements and food.
Nutrition! We all need proper nutrition to have enough energy to make it through the day. We need nutrition to build strong bodies and keep our blood flowing. We need food! We get nutrition from food. However, we can't always buy what we want, so we settle for less quality to make the budget. Nutritional supplements cost a lot of money and they package them in quantities so you have to purchase each month. And...do they really work? Are you really getting what your body was designed to ingest? Enter the indoor garden.
What do you consider an indoor green garden? Lots of beautiful plants hanging in windows and filling up space in corners and table tops. Yes, that is an indoor garden. These types of plants help filter the air, which is a good thing. But, are they edible? Are they nutritional powerhouses? Will they supplement you and your family in lean times? No, they will not, but micro greens will.
Micro greens are the absolute best way to supplement your nutritional needs. They are affordable to grow. They are easy to grow and they can grow anywhere inside your home that you desire. You may have a few initial costs to start a setup, but then, it's just about buying seeds. And when you buy in bulk, your dollars will stretch.
Trendy restaurants serve micro greens as an added value on their menu. Why not add that value on your own home menus. You can serve them on salads. You can blend them in green smoothies. (yum) You can add them to sandwiches and top off cuts of meats with them. Ever tried a piece of fish topped with arugula micro greens? Double yum.
Don't let this economy get you down. You can lift your spirits, increase your energy and bring an over whelming sense of satisfaction knowing you are doing what is beneficial for you and your family. Grow your own indoor green garden with the incredible, edible micro greens!
