What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage. They are technically not "sprouts" as they are often called. They have higher nutritional value than sprouts because they are slightly more developed.

They are “living foods” – Purposefully utilized in their most nutritious and delicious state.

Why Microgreens Are Healthier Than Regular Greens Like Lettuce, Spinach & Kale…

Their nutrient content is more concentrated
Their vitamin and antioxidants levels are up to 40X higher than more mature greens
They’re richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium
They’re richer in micro minerals such as iron, zinc and copper
And I can go on and on… They’re richer in B vitamins, essential amino acids, folate etc!

The types of microgreens I specialize in are:

Pea
Sunflower
Radish
Broccoli

One of the things I love most about these 4 varieties (other than the countless health benefits) is…

They’re so easy to use!

In fact, if you want to taste REAL FOOD and feel REALLY GREAT, I recommend you…
Add them to virtually every single meal…

- Soups
- Salads
- Smoothies
- Sandwiches & Burgers
- Pasta & Rice Dishes
- Curries  & Stews

Those are just a few examples…

I encourage you to get creative and experiment with microgreens…

They can add so much flavor, texture & color to your meals!

Question 2

What is the size of an order of Microgreens? How long do they last?

Accepted Answer

Due to rising costs, we have opted out of fancy packaging and you will now receive your microgreens in plain food-grade plastic bags.

Eco (Large) Pack Size:

Pea - 100 grams
Sunflower - 100 grams
Radish - 60 grams
Broccoli - 60 grams
Mustard - 60 grams
Arugula - 60 grams
Crunchy Mix - 75 grams (only available in this size)

Starter (Small) Pack Size:

Pea - 30 grams
Sunflower - 30 grams
Radish - 20 grams
Broccoli - 20 grams
Mustard - 20 grams
Arugula - 20 grams

Eco Pack (the original larger size)

Most people can use around half a large package of Microgreens per day but it depends on how much greens you have in your diet. People who find this size overwhelming or are unsure, may want to start with the "Starter" size.

Cooking with Microgreens or blending Microgreens into smoothies/sauces/dips uses them up faster.

Microgreens will last at least a week in the fridge, sometimes much longer.

Starter Pack (the new smaller size)

This size was designed for customers who are new to Microgreens, so you can learn how to implement them in your diet slowly and not be overwhelmed with too many greens.

Most people, even a beginner with Microgreens, can easily use 4 of this size of box in 1 - 2 weeks.

Question 7

When will I receive my first order of Microgreens?

Accepted Answer

On a Tuesday. Microgreens take 10 days to grow so your seeds will be planted the Friday after your order is placed. Two Tuesdays after that, will be your delivery date. We will notify you by email when to expect your delivery. We also send a reminder email the day before your delivery.

Example:
You place your order on Monday, October 2nd. Your seeds will be sown Friday October 6th. Your delivery/harvest day will be Tuesday, October 17th.

Question 8

I haven't received my first order, why am I being billed a second time?

Accepted Answer

If you are on a weekly or bi-weekly delivery, you may be billed a 2nd time before your first order arrives. This is because I invoice several days before your seeds are sown. Seeds take 10 days to grow so you get billed before they are sown, and billed again before 10 days are up, so I can sow the seeds for your next order.

Example: You signed up for a weekly subscription on Monday, October 2nd and paid the invoice October 2nd for your seeds to be planted October 6th, for October 17th delivery. Your next invoice since you are on a weekly subscription, will be Tuesday October 9th, for you seeds to be planted October 13th, for October 24th delivery. You have paid 2 bills before your first delivery, but it is because it's a recurring invoice for your subscription to be planted and delivered on schedule every week.

Once you have paid one invoice, you are scheduled in the system for the frequency of delivery you have chosen. Your invoices will continue to show up every week (or bi-weekly, or monthly) like clockwork, and so will your greens.

Question 9

What if I want to go from a Weekly Subscription to a Bi-weekly subscription? Or from a monthly to a bi-weekly?

Accepted Answer

This is perfectly fine! We just require two weeks notice so we don't plant your seeds for harvest on the weeks you will not be needing them.

Note that the price of your subscription may change when you change your subscription frequency.

Question 10

I have too many Microgreens, what do I do?

Accepted Answer

1. Cook with them! Microgreens wilt like spinach, so when you heat them a lot looks like a little.

2. Blend them! Make purées to add to soup, stocks, smoothies, pesto, dips, sauces.

3. Dry/dehydrate them! You can also dry Microgreens to use later in smoothies, soups, stocks and you can even add them to baking for extra nutrition.

4. Freeze them! Microgreens freeze well for future use in smoothies, soups, hot dishes, etc. They certainly won't have the same texture but they will still add color and flavor to anything you put them in.

5. Share them with friends and family! A lot of people are unfamiliar with Microgreens and find them fascinating. Encourage people you know to try them to reap the enormous taste and health benefits.
