Despite the fact that many consumers are now making the effort to adopt healthier eating habits, the cost of fresh, high-quality produce still remains inaccessible due to the traditional supply chain—as such, Helios Eos is now introducing a space-saving and affordable solution for growing fresh greens at home with its [indoor microgreen garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-bok-choy).

GroFast is a small-scale indoor farm that takes up minimal space and has the potential to quickly grow antioxidant-rich microgreens, also known as the "baby of plants." In a matter of just seven days, microgreens can be grown and enjoyed within the comfort of an indoor setting.

The GroFast system is made up of a tray, a reservoir base and a clear, protective plastic top that keeps pests away. With these components, users have the flexibility to choose between using soil, compost or planting mats, as well as traditional or [hydroponic growing techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerospring-pinch-hydroponic-system).
