What are micro greens and how can I utilize them?
Micro greens are considered baby plants such as vegetables and herbs. They are usually harvested 7–21 days after germination, once the plant’s first true leaves have emerged. We grow our micro greens in soil and chemical free but they can grown in coconut coir, vermiculite or hydroponically.
You can use them in a variety of dishes, including sandwiches, wraps, salads, pestos, dips, garnishes on pizzas, soups, omelettes, stir-fries, pasta, and curries. You can also blend micro greens into smoothies or juiced. We recommend keeping them raw for full health benefits but they are awesome if you toss them in last minute into a stir-fry. Checkout our photo album and recipe section for ideas.
Studies done on micro greens have shown that they are loaded with nutrients, such vitamins, C, E, and K, lutein, and beta-carotene, up to 40 times more than the mature leaves of the same plants. They also pack an intense punch of flavour and add a welcome splash of colour to a variety of dishes. Adding these baby greens into your regular diet will help reduce the risk of many diseases; heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and certain cancers.
