🌱 About Our Microgreens

• How are your microgreens grown?
  We grow everything locally in nutrient-dense soil to ensure maximum flavor and optimal shelf life.

• What varieties do you offer?
  Our core favorites include nutrient-packed broccoli, spicy radish, and vibrant amaranth, alongside seasonal specialties.

• Are they different from sprouts?
  Yes. Sprouts grow in water and are eaten root-and-all. Our greens grow in soil and are cut at the stem.

• Do I need to wash them?
  Yes. Because we grow in real soil, a gentle rinse in cold water before eating is recommended.

🛒 Retail Ordering & Packaging

• How do you package your microgreens?
  We offer standard precut microgreens in fresh, clear, food-safe clamshell containers.

• Do you sell live trays to the public?
  Yes. We offer live 5x5 trays for maximum freshness and a longer shelf life at home.

  Stored properly in your refrigerator, our precut greens stay fresh and crisp for 7 to 12 days.
