Start-up creates seed-filled greetings cards that grow into healthy edible plants
Danish start-up Clorofille has developed an ingenious way to create edible greens out of greetings cards.
A company that creates greeting cards filled with seeds that grow into edible plants has been receiving attention on Kickstarter for its unusual product.
Clorofille, a start-up from Denmark, designs unusual cards which grow into vegetable “microgreens” that are edible when fully grown. In just a week, recipients of Growing Greetings can use the greens in their recipes.
Giulia Cavalli, founder of Clorofille said: “It is always amusing to witness a seed turn into a plant, but even more so if it turns into a monster, a beard or an owl!
“At Clorofille, we see plants as more than decorative, but essential to a happy and healthy life, and that’s why you can eat the microgreens right out of your card.”
The plants should appear in seven to ten days.
The product has already received nearly £2,000 of its £5,875 goal from Kickstarter backers after being launched on March 22.
