00:00Microgreen plants were not much researched in Bihar, but in recent days people have become aware of microgreen products and people are also using it for their health.
00:18A young man has started microgreen farming for the first time in Bihar and thousands of people are benefitting from it.
00:31My grandfather and grandmother passed away before I was born. They had cancer.
00:37My family told me that they also had mineral deficiency.
00:44At that time, my mother used to plant wheat in a pot and used to make juice out of it.
00:53They lived for a few days, but then they passed away.
00:58When I returned from Pune, I saw that my mother was suffering from knee pain, cold, cough, and other immunity problems.
01:11Looking at this, I came up with the idea of a natural solution for mineral deficiency.
01:17I started doing research on it.
01:19I read the research paper and found out that there is a term called microgreens, which has a lot of nutrients.
01:24By consuming it in a small amount, we can fulfill our daily needs.
01:29In 2020, we started microgreens.
01:33Today, there are about 1000 families in Patna who are supplying microgreens and taking them towards a better life.
01:41What are the benefits of microgreens?
01:43There are a lot of antioxidants in it.
01:46If you consume 50 grams of microgreens daily, 70% of vitamin A, C, and K's RDA is fulfilled.
01:54When we go for a blood test, we see that there is a decrease in magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron in the body.
02:04To fulfill this deficiency, we take medicines.
02:07The side effects of these medicines are causing different damage to the liver and kidneys.
02:11So, how can we naturally reduce this deficiency and move towards a better life?
02:19We make people available in the subscription mode.
02:22We have a website, www.ghanspa.com.
02:24People can order from there.
02:26According to their report, we give them microgreens in a customized way with the help of a dietitian.
02:32The price depends on the variety they want.
02:35Our weekly subscription box starts from Rs. 600 and goes up to Rs. 800-1000 according to the variety.
02:43Sir, I have graduated from Quantum University, Roorkee.
02:47I have completed my graduation from B.Sc. Agriculture.
02:51When I was checking for a job vacancy, I came to know about microgreens.
02:57I saw how many benefits it has and how useful it is for people.
03:02Then, I showed my interest to work in it.
03:05Then, I came to know about microgreens and its different uses and benefits.
03:15How do you germinate the plant?
03:19First, we soak the seeds.
03:23Then, we soak it for 7-14 hours.
03:28Then, we prepare it with a soil medium prepared with cocopeat.
03:34After that, we sow the seeds.
03:37Then, we keep it in a blackout period for a few days.
03:40Then, we put a weight on it.
03:42After that, germination starts in 2-4 days.
03:45After that, we keep it in normal light for 7-14 days.
03:52After that, we harvest it, pack it and deliver it to people.
