Would you like to grow your own vitamins at home? Ecological, organic and 100% without plastic? Then the Grow-Grow Nut maybe just the thing for you! I've taken a closer look at the coconut bowl and in this article I'll show you my impressions and experiences - paired with great photos and recipes.
Grow-Grow Nut
The Grow-Grow Nut is a coconut shell that helps you to eat healthier and at the same time the Protecting the environment. The concept behind the Grow-Grow Nut is simple: plant your own, vitamin-rich Microgreens on your windowsill and do completely without plastic - both the packaging and the product.
To plant microgreens in the grow groove, you will need Seeds also Coconut tile. This is highly compressed coconut soil that rises when it comes into contact with water - an exciting effect that is definitely worth a look. You can watch the Seeds and the Coconut tile put together your own or on Refill packs to fall back on.
To start with, I recommend a Starter kitthat not only a beautiful grow groove includes. Also three coconut bricks and three packs of delicious seeds will spoil you. You can also use the packaging of the Grow-Grow Nut to make a Lid cut out for these, so that the microgreens come into contact with less light in their first few days. This is good so that the seeds germinate faster and the plant "stretches" and thus becomes larger to reach the light.
Microgreens
The new superfood
The Growing microgreens is easier than you think:
- Use one coconut brick per grow groove, place it in your coconut tray and slowly add water until all the soil is soaked.
- Now use your microgreens seeds and spread them evenly over the moist coco soil.
- Press the seeds onto the soil again a little so that they are in a permanently moist environment.
- Moisten the seeds again explicitly from above, e.g. with a Pressure sprayer. Continue to do this continuously during growth.

There are a number of places to buy microgreens and sprouts. Me recommend from personal experience next to the Store the Grow-Grow Nut the Microgreen-Shopwhich offers a wide selection of high-quality sprouts and microgreens. All seeds are tested by an independent laboratory for perfect Quality tested. At the same time, the business sells no cultivated varietieswhich may look better as mature plants. In fact, uncultivated varieties are generally much better in terms of ingredient and vitamin content.
But what is actually the Difference between microgreens and sprouts? Both variants are one and the same plantonly that Harvest age is different. Sprouts have an age of approx. 3-8 days and microgreens of approx. 8-20 days. Of course, it is not possible to determine the exact age to the day, but it can be said to be roughly the same. You can find more details on this here.
My absolute Microgreen favorites I have listed and photographed them below:
Mizuna
Mizuna has a delicate cabbage flavor and is Slightly spicy. The fine microgreens can be used perfectly as a decoration or as a side dish to a salad. I particularly like to use them in burgers as a supplement or alternative to a regular salad.
Broccoli
Broccoli is known as particularly healthy vegetables which acts as an immune booster. The spicy-piquant The taste is slightly reminiscent of Chinese cabbage. I particularly like to eat broccoli on bread as an addition to spreads. But broccoli is also a wonderful addition to salads. Broccoli can also be used to make super tasty Microgreens pesto make!
Sunflowers
Sunflowers are less sharp than mizuna and broccoli and taste Slightly sweet, fresh and crunchy. They grow very tall if you follow a few tips, so a grow groove with sunflowers is a good basis for a salad. The seed coat can be removed by shaking if it has not already fallen off by itself.
Peas
Similar to sunflowers, peas are very uncomplicated to grow and give you a high yield. They taste like fresh sugar snap peas and are incredibly crisp. In addition, the Root formation very impressive. I particularly like them fried in a pan with a few drops of oil and garlic - a real treat!
