What this knowledge base covers

This video is a practical introduction to microgreens — the young, nutrient-dense shoots Peak Agro Lanka grows every day at our Microgreen Unit in Depanama, Pannipitiya. Nutritionist Hiroshan Jayaranga walks through why more people in Sri Lanka should start eating microgreens, and how they fit into healthier everyday meals.

Key takeaways for kitchens

  • Concentrated nutrition — microgreens pack vitamins, minerals and plant compounds into a small serving, ideal for salads, bowls, juices and garnishes.
  • Easy to add daily — a handful on rice, sandwiches, omelettes or plated dishes lifts flavour and nutrient density without changing the whole menu.
  • Freshness matters — like any leafy green, quality depends on how recently they were harvested. Peak Agro cuts trays to order so microgreens reach you at peak flavour.
  • Local & traceable — our microgreens are grown under SL-GAP focused practices in Sri Lanka, for homes, restaurants, chefs and hotels.

For plating ideas, see our gallery of microgreens and edible flowers on the plate — pizza, tacos, rice bowls and more.

How Peak Agro Lanka grows them

From seed to harvest in about ten days, our trays are monitored for light, moisture and airflow, then hand-harvested close to delivery. Explore varieties such as pea shoots, radish, sunflower, mustard, amaranth, cress, basil and broccoli on our microgreens page.
