Adding nutrient-rich foods to your diet has never been easier. UAportal has named three superfoods that can be grown on your own windowsill.

Ginger

Known for its medicinal properties, ginger is a versatile root that can help relieve nausea, bloating, and inflammation. The best part is that it can be grown in a pot. Simply plant the ginger root in well-prepared soil and you'll have your own ginger harvest in 10 months.

Tomatoes

For cherry tomatoes, which are easier to grow and ripen faster, consider planting in containers. Just be sure to provide adequate sunlight, wind protection, and nutrient-rich soil for optimal growth.

Microgreens

These small, tender greens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can improve cholesterol levels and support a healthy digestive system. All you need to grow microgreens is a seed tray and some compost. Popular choices include lettuce, basil, cilantro, and parsley. In a few weeks, you can harvest your own homegrown microgreens.
