Microgreens

Microgreens have a short growing cycle and will be harvested 8-21 days from when we sew the seeds. The first several days of the seed's life are usually spent covered up with another tray and weighted down. When the seed first sprouts in this condition, it has to push its roots down and work hard to send the stem upward. These growing conditions make the stems stronger and the plant heartier. (A tray of Black Oil Sunflower seeds in germination will lift up the tray with the 15-pound weight!) Once the seeds are out of the covered germination phase, they are put under growing lights and watered every day until they are ready for harvest. We usually deliver our products hours after harvesting. That way, they are as fresh as possible. Your container of microgreens is happiest in the refrigerator around 37-39 degrees Fahrenheit - cold but not where they may freeze! Under these conditions, your micro-vegetables should stay fresh for 7-14 days, or even longer.
