Microgreens have arrived!
Posted in featured selections on Jan 2nd, 2008
This year our annual share members will periodically receive micro-greens in their shares. What are micro-greens you ask? Well, let me tell you!
Micro-greens are plants harvested at the beginning of their growth once the plant has put on its very first real leaves, just after the sprouting stage. Micro-greens have the added advantage of being grown in open air, unlike sprouts, ensuring circulation and eliminating any potential health concerns. All our micro-green seeds are certified organic and grown in a sterile soil-less medium.
Why eat micro-greens? Because they pack both a flavorful and nutritional punch, loaded with vitamins A, B, C, E and K, calcium, chlorophyll, iron, lecithin, magnesium, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, potassium, amino acids, trace elements, antioxidants, and up to 30% protein. Micro-greens offer flavor and maximum nutrition. Use them in soups, salads, as a side dish, garnish, or in place of herbs.
