Microgreens: Big Flavor, Bigger Nutrition

Microgreens have become a beloved staple item in our rotating SLO Veg harvest boxes. We are lucky to source ours from local producer, Gracious Greens Farms. Alvin grows our amazing healthy green’s in beautiful Huasna Valley. One of the best parts of supporting Alvin your greens are coming to you in 100% compostable packaging! Yep your micros are packaged in corn syrup containers.  Thanks Alvin for taking our suggestion to become earth friendly and support our mission to cut out plastics!  We love ya!

Microgreens are green vegetables and herbs that are harvested at the cotyledon growth stage. Because microgreens are harvested within 10-14 days post-germination, they’ve had time to do some biochemical magic which result in nutrient contents four to six times more concentrated than their full-grown counterpart. These biochemical processes involve freeing up amino acids, simple sugars from starch, and fatty acids which allows for our bodies to metabolize these nutrients efficiently with minimal energy on our end. This is why microgreens pack a lot of flavor, have higher fiber content, and are higher in nutrition. Microgreens also require minimal sunlight and space to grow, making it easy to grow your own plants in your kitchen. Gracious Greens Farms produces an array of different microgreens and we wanted to share with you some of our favorites: Street Taco Cilantro & Onion Blend, Sunflower, Salad Mix, Radish Mix, Arugula, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Wasabi Fire Mustard Greens, Pea Shoots, Cilantro, and so many more!
