​What are Micro-greens?
They are tiny edible greens grown from seeds of vegetables and herbs harvested at their most nutritious and delicious state - full of concentrated nutrients, vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
​
Micro-greens are not sprouts.
Sprouts are the first stage of plant growth. They are germinated in water and darkness and harvested within 2/3 days. Sprouts contain the seed, root and stem which is known for it's crunch and nutritional value.
​
Micro-greens are like baby greens just smaller. Like baby greens they are seeded in soil, watered, grown with light, good air circulation and harvested just above the soil line.
Micro-greens have more intense flavors and colors than sprouts or baby greens due to their higher concentrations of nutrients. According to the USDA's Agricultural Research Service at equal weights micro-greens can contain from five up to forty times more nutrients than the leaves of their mature plants.

How do we grow our micro-greens?
We source our seeds from companies that sell non-GMO safe seeds specified for growing micro-greens .
We grow our greens year-round in our urban, indoor vertical garden in organic soil. Our greens are grown under cool temperature LED lighting allowing us to produce a consistent product. Each crop is grown in fresh soil (we never re-use soil). Once harvested we recycle the soil into our herb and flower gardens.
