Microgreens 101
What are microgreens?
Microgreens ("tiny greens") are the same as any mature vegetable of the same name with one exception: instead of reaching full maturity, they are harvested when they are small and tender greens with either zero or one single "true leaf."
Depending on the microgreens variety, this can be anywhere from 8-25 days.
How do I use microgreens?
Our microgreens are ready to eat the way YOU want to enjoy them-anytime, anywhere, at home or on-the-go.
Munch by the handful or toss them in salads, sandwiches, soups, pastas, breakfast skillets, pizza, etc.
Your imagination's the only limit to how you can enjoy microgreens. And you don't have to like cooking either.
Are microgreens healthier than traditional vegetables?
Because microgreens are still a relatively new food innovation, there has been limited research done that explores how they compare with mature vegetables. However, the research that has been done suggests that microgreens are, gram for gram, more nutrient dense and flavorful than their mature counterparts.
That said, microgreens are intended to be an addition to a balanced, whole food diet, and it is not recommended that you eat only microgreens in your diet. We encourage you to do your own research and work with a trusted nutritionist or healthcare provider to see what specific nutritional requirements will support your health.
