FAQs

Microgreens are seedling of edible vegetables and herbs. They are harvested when the plants develop their first true leaves, which is about 1-2 weeks after planting. The greens are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. As microgreens are harvested in their seedling stage they have concentrated levels of nutrients. Plus, unlike mature vegetables, they require little to no processing during meal prep. No more removing stems or chopping!
A 2012 study by the University of Maryland tested microgreens for several vitamins and found they contained 4-40 times more nutrients than their mature vegetable counterparts on a per weight basis.
