FAQS

What are Microgreens?

Microgreens are young vegetable greens, not to be confused with sprouts or shoots. Microgreens are generally harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed and possibly with one set of true leaves, sometimes two. They are considered a superfood, full with essential nutrients and vitamins.

Why eat Microgreens?

Microgreens are packed full of vitamins and enzymes, and make every dish they accompany shine with vibrant flavors and textures. The nutritional value of Microgreens can be 10x-30x higher than their adult counterpart. Plus they're delicious even on their own.
