Microgreens term is used to grow various commercial crops like leafy vegetables. Its high demand in this current world due to presence of proteins, vitamins, LDL rich components in their chemical composition. These plantlets are harvested within two to three weeks. They are highly demanded for their nutrients rich source, concentrated flavours as well as their vibrant colours. Recently they are used in vegetables and fruit salads. They contain ascorbic acid, tocopherol, carotenoids, folate, tocotreinols, phylloquinones, anthocyanin, glycosylates etc. Microgreens are small sprouts with 10cm length and growing without soil and water. These have significant potential to enhance high concentrate of beneficial compounds. They are having high nutritional value because of their secondary metabolites and commercial potential recent progress and perspectives related to production, postharvest techniques and preservation of microgreens. This paper will give an overall fact about microgreens production, harvesting, preservation. Green gram, wheat grass, chia seeds, fenugreek length of microgreens calculated, temperature, light availability, moisture physics parameters also calculated to optimum values, they grown upto 15cm and the physical parameters like LED (420447) blue LED production enhanced light intensity high production also increased, below 400 C temperature with less moisture increase the growth of microgreens. The shelf life is increased when they kept in 40 C for 6 days without moisture and are wrapped with polythene cover.
