What are Microgreens?

A quick explanation is that microgreens are tiny baby plants that pack a punch with nutrition and flavor!!

They are the miniature version of their adult counterparts, packed with nutrients and enzymes from their rapid growth. Harvested around 10-14 days, just before or at the first leaf stage.

Baby vegetables! (That are often more fun. :)

That's it, really pretty simple! And they are very easy to use.

Most microgreens found on store shelves are grown on shelving under grow lights, which aids in quick and even growing in their trays. Some are grown on coir, or grow mats, some in soil.

A few things that set our microgreens apart:

1. Our microgreens (all our winter greens) are grown under natural sunlight in our passive solar Deep Winter Greenhouse (DWG).

1. Our Organic micros are grown in organic soils.

1. Did you pick up on the third difference?! Our micros are Certified Organic...as well as Real Organic Project Certified!

What do microgreens taste like and how are they used?

Microgreens are so versatile and easy to use, and they are not just for salads!

Typically used raw microgreens are a very easy way to add nutrition, flavor and fun to your meals. Flavor is going to depend on the type of green you purchase. Arugula micros are going to taste like full grown peppery arugula. Radish micros will taste like radishes. Our signature Zesty Mix! is a zippy, flavorful mustard greens blend.

My favorite way to use microgreens is with my eggs in the morning! Helps me start the day with more veggies and nutrition, adds great flavor and texture - place over-easy eggs on a bed of micros, sprinkle over scambled eggs or an omelet.

They are great in sandwiches, salads (of course), on tacos, in a Korean beef bowl and so much more! I have a customers whose kiddo likes to tuck some in a slice of salami and eat up! The world is your oyster!

Chances are they compliment a few of your favorite dishes!
