Microgreens contain 4-40 times more nutrients by weight than their fully grown counterparts. Not to mention they are high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants, polyphenols, chlorophyll and protein!

Freshly Harvested
My customers are always guaranteed the freshest microgreens! My team and I harvest late the night before each market or preferably live while at the market. If stored correctly my microgreens will last up to 10-14 days in the refrigerator.

Additional Information
Microgreens are much more then just a trendy food. The amount of nutrients you can find in these tiny greens will blow your mind! If you're looking for a natural and easy to digest way to get your vitamins, minerals, protein and other nutrients, look no further. Below are a few general benefits of microgreens.
- High In Nutrients: Microgreens contain 4-40 times more nutrients by weight than their fully grown counterparts. This includes higher amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, fiber and protein!
- Contain Polyphenols: Polyphenols prevent the buildup of harmful free radicals associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. They also contain wider variety of polyphenols than their mature vegetable counter parts.
- Reduce Chronic Disease Risk: Veggie consumption is associated with lower risk of certain cancers, inflammation, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
- Taste Great: Mix these into your salad or top off your sandwich instead of traditional greens, or blend into your smoothie for a burst of flavor and nutrients. Flavors vary between sweet, fresh, spicy, nutty, tangy and peppery.

Please keep in mind that all microgreens have different nutritional value, just like any other vegetable. I listed a link below to an article that explains how they are considered a "functional food, a food that promotes health and prevents disease."
It will also explain how you can use microgreens in the kitchen to boost flavor and visual presentation!
