WHAT ARE MICROGREENS?

Microgreens are simply smaller versions of conventional herbs and vegetables. Microgreens are essentially the same full-grown herb or vegetable but harvested at an earlier time. A great example, instead of growing a kale plant until it matures over several months, you harvest it when it is only 8-12 days old. That is basically what a microgreen is, and instead of growing one plant, we grow hundreds of them altogether which is packed full of nutrients at this early stage!!!

NUTRITIONAL VALUE

Most microgreens contain anywhere from 4-40 times more nutrients than their full-grown counterparts. That is a significant difference and is one of the reasons why so many people have decided to make these tiny superfoods a part of their daily diet.
