This Guwahati farmer is using microgreens to provide unconventional healthcare in Assam

You may have read about them or seen them on television – those little sprouts of green making their way and quickly harvested before they have a chance to mature. You may have wondered why are they harvested early and how they are used. Here’s the story.

Nutritionists all over the world have begun looking into the health and nutritional benefits of microgreens. They are said to aid the prevention of complicated health diseases like cancer, heart diseases, diseases associated with eyesight, and many more. In India, like in many other parts of the world, producing microgreens is not yet a popular industry.

In Guwahati, there are only a handful of people who have taken it as a responsibility to ensure these vegetables are available to as many homes that need them. One of them is Rahul Sharma.
