Santhosh Kumar S’ farm is in a 100 square foot room. The crops, one to three inches tall, shine bright in shades of green, pink, yellow and purple. This is Santhosh’s microgreen farm, where he grows different varieties of greens.
Although many had tried their hand at it during the lockdown, Santhosh is among the handful of people in Thiruvananthapuram who have taken to commercial cultivation of microgreens, which are the first true edible leaves produced from seedlings of vegetables and herbs. It is the phase between sprouts and baby plants.
