Down To Earth Growing

i posted a few days ago in my story, allowing you to ask questions, so im here to answer some of the more common ones! do you have questions? Leave them below and we will be happy to answer them all!! FAQS:... I keep seeing you refer to them as nutrient dense, what does that mean? microgreens are full of what are called micro-nutrients. In literaly terms it means they are dense with nutrients, but the easiest way to explain is with examples! 1OZ of our Mellow Mix (broccoli, kale and cabbage) has an equivalent nutrient value to 1.5LBS of full size Broccoli Fruit. They are both very high in sulforaphane, which is excellent in brain development. Red Cabbage microgreens are high in Vitamin c, Cilantro high in Vitamin A, Garnet Amaranth is high in Vitamin K, and Radish are high in Vitamin E. Who needs to take a multivitamin? It seems expensive for such a small amount, why is that? For starters, they are not mass produced. You wont find them in grocery stores, only farmers markets and specialty stores. Often they are grown at home (as is the case with us!) and bulk buying power isnt available. They used to only be available to high end restauronts and caterers, but now are packaged for home life. Plus, ounce for ounce they are a more affordable way to get your vitamins and minerals. You get a more personal touch, including free delivery in town when purchasing from a small grower. I heard sprouts arent safe for pregnant or breastfeeding moms, does this apply to miccrogreens too? No! Microgreens are totally safe for pregnant or breastfeeding moms! Microgreens are not sprouts, and you only eat the leaves and stem of the plant. With sprouts you eat the seed and root which is where the potential for harmful bacteria growth lies. What is the difference between microgreens and sprouts? As mentioned above the biggest difference is sprouts you often eat the seed and root as well as the leaves and stem. Sprouts are grown hydroponically, whereas microgreens usually have a soil medium. Microgreens are usually grown longer, until the first set of true leaves appear. Sprouts are harvested early, when they only have their seed leaves. Microgreens are also exposed to light, causing the leaves to turn green. Sprouts are kept in the dark, giving them a yellow color.

I've seen alot of posts about New Years Resolutions. And alot of those revolve around fitness, eating better and drinking more water! Living an all around healthier lifestyle. And that's where we can help, Microgreens are the perfect addition to any diet, and I don't mean the "throw out all the things with sugar" diet, but your everyday food choices. ... They are an AMAZING source of nutrients, and when you can eat one Gram vs one Pound of food and recieve the same nutrients and flavor, why wouldn't you try them?! Amazing addition to any salad, sandwich, soup or even completely by themselves. Not to mention a Microgreen Smoothie would be all the greens you need for an entire day! They are pretty. They are Nutrient Dense. They are Delicious. They are locally grown. What more reason do you need to try them?

Thank to everyone fr your continued support, we wish you a Happy Holiday Season and a Wonderful New Year.

Why choose to add Microgreens to your diet? They are LOADED with nutrients, far more than their full size counterparts. They are an easy way to add life saving vitamins and minerals to your diet. ... They are tender, yet crunchy and full of flavor, even after being cooked! And now you can source these locally, fresh and homegrown
