In the world of living foods, two terms are particularly prevalent: sprouts and microgreens . Both are considered superfoods, packed with nutrients, and easy to grow yourself. But what actually distinguishes them β and how does that fit with PepUpLife 's products?
π± What are sprouts?
Sprouts are the very first signs of life from a seed. They develop when a grain or legume begins to germinate β usually after 2β4 days.
- Germination time: 2β4 days
- Growth: without soil, only with water and light
- Consumption: raw, directly after germination
- Examples: Mung beans, alfalfa, radishes, blended mixes
Sprouts are particularly rich in enzymes and easily digestible. They contain many vitamins and minerals β especially in the first few days of their growth.
ποΈ PepUpLife makes it easy
With PepUpLife sprouting bags, germination is incredibly easy β no soil, no hassle. Simply soak, rinse, wait β and your vegetables will grow right in the bag. Practical, hygienic, and organic.
πΏ What are microgreens?
Microgreens are young plants that continue to grow after germination β until the first real leaves appear.
- Germination time: 7β14 days
- Growth: in soil or on substrate, with light
- Consumption: as fresh greens, similar to herbs
- Examples: arugula, cress, sunflower, basil
Microgreens have a more intense flavor and often contain up to 40 times more nutrients than mature plants. They are perfect as a topping for bowls, salads, or sandwiches.
And what about PepUpLife?

- Sprouted pasta made from spelt sprouts
