Hamama

What's in the box: Refill shipments contain pre-seeded Seed Quilts that you soak in the Hamama tray to grow a batch of microgreens.

Hamama sells a simple countertop system for growing microgreens: a tray, water, and a pre-seeded "Seed Quilt" that you soak and leave to sprout. It uses no soil, no pump and no grow light. That makes it less a hydroponics rig than a low-effort way to keep fresh greens in the kitchen. Hamama says crops are ready to eat in 7 to 10 days, and it offers more than 10 microgreen varieties plus a separate green onion kit. The subscription is a Subscribe & Save option for Seed Quilt refills, and that is where the ongoing value is. Each quilt grows one crop, and microgreens generally do not regrow after cutting. Starter kits begin at $35 and refill quilts start at $22. Shipping is free on orders of $54 or more, and returns are accepted within 30 days. The seeds are described as organic and non-GMO. The site leans heavily on nutrition marketing, including a "40x the nutrients" claim and a new greens powder supplement. The real appeal is convenience. If you want a steady supply of fresh microgreens for salads and sandwiches without learning to garden, this is very easy to use. Anyone hoping to grow full-size vegetables or herbs should look elsewhere.
