MICROGREEN CARE

Once you receive your microgreens what do you do next?

​

We recommend that you place your microgreens directly into the refrigerator for best and longest shelf life. Microgreens do not like heat or moisture, so in order to prevent spoiling its best to keep them cool. Microgreens do not technically need to be washed, they grow in a very clean and controlled environment. However, if you would like to rinse them before consuming; make sure to always use cool water. 

We harvest our microgreens dry, meaning they will not receive a watering the day of harvest. This is to make sure the greens are not holding too much water when we cut them out of the tray. Ultimately, this would lead to wilting quickly in your refrigerator. Once we harvest the greens they will "rest" in our cooler over night and be delivered to you the following day. Please make sure not to palce your product to close to the back of your fridge, they do like a cool temp but not too cold. We keep our fridges at 40 degrees F to improve shelf life. Basil likes a warmer fridge for instance and will only last 5 days or so in cold. 

​

Be aware that some microgreens have a longer shelf life than others, so monitor your greens daily and enjoy their delicious flavor and nutrient dense benefits right away in salads, juices or whatever your heart desires.
