Our oldest son Eric is interested in growing Microgreens and would like feedback from Nature's Gourmet Farm customers to get a fell for interest for them.
Here is information from a flyer Eric put together. Packaging will most likely be a clamshell type container.
What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the highly nutritious seedlings of edible full-sized plants, typically 7-14 days old
Microgreens are NOT sprouts—sprouts are slightly younger and eaten with the root. Microgreens are harvested from the base of the stem.
Why choose Microgreens?
• Nutrient-dense—contains 4-40 times more nutrients than their adult counterparts
• Many varieties high in
o Vitamins C, E, and K
o Cancer-fighting compounds--sulforaphane, beta-carotene, lutein, phenolic compounds and more
o Essential nutrients such as Iron, potassium, zinc, and calcium
• Diverse flavors enhance and complement food—ranging from spicy to nutty to sweet
• Colorful and add appeal to otherwise bland dishes
• Easy to use and goes great in many foods, including:
o Soups
o Salads
o Pizza
o Smoothies
o Tacos and burritos
o Stir fry
o Omelets
o Juicing
o Sandwiches
o Pancakes
o Fajitas
o Even desserts!
• Locally-grown, Natural and Sustainable
• Typically non-GMO and produced without herbicides or pesticides
• Little to no waste—the roots and soil can be composted and reused
• Many are gluten-free!
Microgreens are a superfood!
Eric will be responsible for receiving and filling orders that we may be able to deliver during the regular Nature's Gourmet Farm deliveries.
