Description Microgreens, the miniature plants are often referred to as “Superfoods” due to their significant nutritional properties characterized by high levels of micronutrients and bioactive compounds. While the need for food and nutritional security is the most fundamental necessity for mankind, the distinctive geography of the Himalayan State like Sikkim poses a challenge of limited access to fresh vegetables and fruits, coupled with high prices. This issue becomes especially crucial in regions characterized by harsh conditions and high altitudes, viz. Mangan, Lachen, Lachung, Kupup, Nathang Valley, inhabited by local communities and serve as deployment zones for a significant portion of the Indian armed forces. In such adverse scenarios, microgreen as addressing issues of food and nutritional security becomes a humanitarian call for all.
