2 Most Popular Questions we get-
"What are microgreens?"
Baby plants, the majority of which only have the first set of leaves that emerge from the newly sprouted seed called the Cotyleden (caw-deh-lee-done) leaves. Most of the varieties we grow only spend 3-5 days under light before we cut them from their roots which go to the compost pile along with with coco coir (coconut husk fiber) that we grow in.
"How do you eat them?"
Anyway you can! Or With Everything! Are my immediate answer but put aside how incredibly TASTY Microgreens are (as one customer put it, "absolutely delicious from their delightful textures to amazing bright flavors!), our favorite thing about growing Microgreens and the reason we are so very passionate about them is that eating just a lil bit of micros everyday is an easy shift to make that will noticeably impact your health and well being because they are a super dense source of biavailable nutrients.
Microgreens are Tiny Yet Mighty! By eating a small amount of micros troughout your day, everyday CONSISTENTLY your body will actually be getting the amount of vitamins and minerals it desperately needs. When it comes to Nutritients, the majority of us have no trouble getting enough of:
Water
Fiber
Carbs/Sugar
Protein &
Fat
These first 5 are important for energy production, muscle growing/building, and to move stuff around our bodies.
However the majority of present day humanity does not get even the minimum requirement of all the macro and micro Minerals & Vitamins they need. These final nutrients are arguably the most important since they do the reparing and protecting of our delicate bodies.
Feel the change for less $$ daily than a soda or coffee and see for yourself! Just commit to eating and then actually Eat at least One Ounce of Microgreens Everyday for One month and it will be clear that your body is very happy with your decision!
1oz of Microgreens can easily blend into a fruit smoothie, can split the oz up between a sandwich and a salad or just make a salad out of it.
Best thing to do is put a small amount on Everything you eat to figure out what your favorites are! I found out I love Radish micros on my chili and with my morning eggs and Broccoli micros on everything 😋
