Introducing our organic non-GMO Rocket microgreens and sprouting seeds, nutritional powerhouses that bring a spicy kick and zesty flavour to any dish. Also known as Arugula, Rushetta, or Rucola, these microgreens and sprouts are favourites due to their fast and easy growth and their ability to complement brassica-based microgreen varieties like kale or broccoli.
Rocket microgreens and sprouts have a pleasant, peppery taste with a subtle zing, making them extremely versatile as a garnish on a chef’s plate or the hero ingredient in your salad or sandwich.
Probably one of the quickest and easiest varieties to grow whilst also one of the tastiest. Radish sprouts and microgreens are highly recommended for beginners and experienced grower alike and deserves to feature regularly in your trays.
Daikon radish microgreens can be harvested from day 7, or if left until true leaf stage, a bulky substantial crop to add zing to salads soups or sandwiches. Big crunchy peppery leaves and stem make this an all-time favourite variety.
Daikon radish has good levels of vitamins B, C, E and K as well as folic acid, zinc, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and calcium.
Our Organic, non-GMO, Green Pea Sprouting & Microgreen Seeds produce sprouts with a mild nutty, slightly sweet and flavour and have a great texture. Green Peas are extremely easy and fast to sprout in our hemp sprouting bags or in jars with large diameter mesh lids.
Like all sprouts, low in calories, they are loaded with goodies. Pea sprouts are a good source of all three protective agents: folate, antioxidants and carotene, helping the body fight free radical damage and maintain cell health and avoid DNA damage. Being high in antioxidants and phytonutrients pea shoots are a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Our organic green pea seeds are lab tested for quality, germination and pathogens so you can get growing at home today. All our packaging is plastic free and biodegradable so are as good the the planet as they are for you.

The co-founders of Hy-Gro Hydroponics met while attending the University of Glasgow, both studying for their Undergraduate degrees in Genetics, and continuing on to study Biotechnology and Management at Masters level.
Through many conversations, beginning over lunchtimes between lab work, both discovered a shared love of plants and the methods and practises of hydroponics, and a desire to make the world a better place using their knowledge and skills.
During their Masters year, the ground was laid to make a move into business, with first the design of a home hydroponics unit and planning for an entry into agriculture. Although COVID put a dampener on their ambitions for a while, they have began working with microgreens as an entry into the marketplace.
