This Maadi Farm goes big on microgreens

Revolutionising the urban food supply in Egypt, 'Farm 155' in Maadi sustainably grows and distributes fresh microgreens at their indoor vertical farms in city centers across Egypt. Founded in 2019 by Ehab Hassouna, the self-proclaimed superfood growers have supplied Egypt with freshly-harvested, pesticide-free radish, arugula, and kale microgreens, raising awareness about the largely unknown benefits of the highly nutritious baby-sized leaves.

But alas, it's true - microgreens are not usually the star of the show. Who's going to read the autobiography of a shred of kale entitled 'Chicken Soup for the Soul (Actual Chicken Soup Edition)'? But they're what brings the dish together, not just through flavour and textures, but with their absurdly dense pack of nutrients and antioxidants as well. And the story of how they grow up is every bit as important as how they end up on your plate.
