Overview of Koppert Cress greenhouses for growing micro-greens in the Westlands area of The Netherlands. Koppert has developed a market for hydroponically grown sprouts that have intense and particular flavors that are used by gourmet chefs in salads and garnishes. They use pink spectrum LED lighting to supplement daylight on cloudy days and in the winter months to guarantee uniformly ideal growing conditions year round. Plants don't absorb all wavelenghts uniformly, and the pink LEDs are more effiecient way to transform electiricity into plant growth.
