Frequently Asked Questions
What are microgreens exactly?
Well, in a nutshell microgreens are just tiny, delicious plants. Most herbs and vegetables can be eaten shortly after germination.
Why eat them at this stage instead of waiting for the mature plant?
At this early stage, greens are not only more nutritious but they are SO much more flavorful. Just a little pinch goes a long way in the flavor department.
How are microgreens grown?
Seeds are densely planted in soil and grow over the course of roughly 10-14 days. Some greens take a little longer but for the most part they are fast growers.
What is the difference between microgreens and sprouts?
As mentioned earlier, microgreens are tiny plants grown in soil. They are harvested at soil level. They need proper ventilation, heat, and light to thrive. Sprouts are not grown in soil nor do they need ventilation or light to thrive. They aren’t really harvested as the entire sprout is eaten. Sprouts are less nutritious and because the entire sprout is eaten, including seeds, they are more likely to contain food borne illness such as e coli and salmonella.
How much is an ounce of greens?
We sell our greens by weight. A good way to visualize greens is one ounce is roughly one standard measuring cup.
