Agar-agar is an extract of seaweed that after heating is in the form of vegetable gelatine.
The micro-vegetables are the first leaves of vegetables, which are harvested very early, have an intense taste, are quite healthy and have a high concentration of vitamins and minerals beneficial to health.
The agar is used to replace the substrate or soil and simply add 2 grams of agar with half a liter of water and heat until boiling. After cooling it is to spread the seeds and wait 10-15 days to be able to harvest the microverduras. The agar will "feed" the vegetables, being a simple way to grow your own vegetables so that they can accompany the meals.
Contents:
A recycled wine bottle, instructions, 3 packages of agar-agar and 1 packet of organic seeds.
