Microgreens can come from just about any type of vegetable or herb, making them an incredibly versatile dietary addition. All of the vitamins and minerals you’d find naturally in the full-grown plant or herb is packed into these tiny versions. This means that just adding a small amount to salads, dips or smoothies can instantly boost the nutritional value. Although most often used as a garnish to add a splash of color to the plate, they can also take center stage as a main ingredient in dishes like salads.
Microgreens are much more nutrient-dense foods than their fully mature counterparts. This is because they take all of the important vitamins and minerals found in the mature plant and manage to cram them into a much smaller package. Most vegetables provide a diverse array of nutrients. Swiss chard, for example, is especially high in vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin C, while beets are loaded with manganese and folate. In a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, microgreens contained between four to 40 times more nutrients by weight than their fully grown counterparts.
We offer a variety of pepper, tomato and vegetable plants. We also offer different assortments of herbs and lettuces. Whether you want to improve your diet or just add an extra degree of culinary flare to your cooking, an herb or lettuce box is an excellent choice! You can purchase our herbs individually or you can take home a custom planter box. Some herb and lettuce boxes feature edible flowers in the mix.
A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check. Eating non-starchy vegetables and fruits like apples, pears, and green leafy vegetables may even promote weight loss. Their low glycemic loads prevent blood sugar spikes that can increase hunger.
While we work on starting a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program that will provide weekly produce boxes, you can still get the plants you need to start a nutritious and diverse garden. If you don't have the space for a full garden, consider putting a few potted plants on your patio or setting up a small indoor grow space.
