Microgreens, young sprouts of various plants such as mustard, peas, and sunflower, have become a popular food trend in Ukraine. Originating in the Vinnytsia region, they are now grown and consumed locally. One resident, Lyudmyla Horyacheva, has found them beneficial for her family's health and also feeds them to her pet snails. The Lviv City Farm is also involved in their production, including exotic greens. In Odessa, they are mass-produced for local restaurants and supermarkets. A chef there believes that microgreens contain 40 times more vitamins and essential elements than regular vegetables, and are used in both food and beverages.
