Question 1

Are sprout better raw or cooked?

Accepted Answer

Experts say slightly sautéed sprouts are better.  Nutrients may be more readily absorbed if slightly cooked.

Question 2

How can microgreens be eaten besides in a salad?

Accepted Answer

Microgreens are great in sandwiches, smoothies, sprinkled over your meals and any way you can imagine.

Question 3

Why are microgreens and sprouts so nutritious?

Accepted Answer

They get their nutrition from the seed and not from the nutrient-depleted soil. They have not used all their nutrients and energy to grow. The sprouting process produces enzymes that humans cannot produce which help break down phytates.  Phytates is what reduces the ability to absorb nutrients.

Question 4

How long do microgreens last?

Accepted Answer

If properly refrigerated and kept with dry with a moist towel to hydrate, they can last for up to a week.  If they are stored moist, they will not last more than a day or two and you will know they are bad when they become limp and the color changes.

Question 5

How do you store microgreens?

Accepted Answer

We package our microgreens in clamshell food containers with a moistened towel on the bottom.  This helps keep the microgreens fresher.  It also helps protect the microgreens from getting bruised.  They are delicate and bruising makes microgreens deteriorate quickly.
