If you're anything like me, the main reason you can't avoid the grocery store is for perishables like fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, it's tough to grow an apple tree in an apartment. Much to my surprise, microgreens have turned out to be a great solution!
Our portfolio company Hamama makes microgreens available to grow at home - all you have to do is add water to one of their hydroponic seed quilts. Right now, they’re offering a special package to keep people stocked up while in quarantine.
Nutrition is incredibly important for keeping immunity and mood stable. So if you're missing your greens while trying to self distance, Hamama may be exactly what you need.
What's included
The bundle includes three free grow trays and 36 seed quilts. You can choose from broccoli, kale, daikon radish, salad mix, wheatgrass, clover, wasabi, and several more.
How it works
The kit is hydroponic, which means that all the seeds need to grow is water. The kit replaces the soil with natural coconut fiber to give the roots something to grow into, and the quilt is specially designed so that the seeds require very little natural light.
How to get it
The offer is available to everyone to help people get through the quarantine. Just click here.
Spread the word
You are welcome to extend this opportunity to anyone you think would benefit - feel free to spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
More about Hamama
Hamama has invented a fail-proof way for anyone, anywhere to grow nutritious microgreens at home year-round. Co-founders Camille Richman and Daniel Goodman met as mechanical engineer students at MIT researching high tech indoor agriculture. After several years of growing food in the lab and in their own houses, they were inspired to found Hamama to give people a system to create healthy food at home.
