FAQS
What are MICROGREENS
Microgreens are young vegetables that are harvested within 7 to 14 days, just after the cotyledons have developed. They are full of vitamins and minerals, with 4 – 40x more nutrients than their mature versions. Because they are still young, their nutrients are easily absorbed by our bodies. To take advantage of their nutrients, they are generally eaten raw. You can add them to any dish, sandwich or blend them in your smoothie.
Microgreens vs Sprouts
Sprouts are younger than microgreens, only 3 to 6 days old, and are generally eaten with the roots included. Microgreens are harvested longer than sprouts, from 7 to 14 days, and roots are discarded / removed prior to eating.
Sprouts are normally grown in sprouting jars or trays, while microgreens are grown in a growing medium like coco coir or soil.
Do the microgreens grow back after harvesting?
Microgreens are harvested at such a young age that they still don't have the ability to grow back. Don't worry, you can purchase seed and coco coir refills on our store.
Can I reuse the coco coir?
You can, if you can remove the roots from the first batch and sterilize it by drying in the sun or baking in the oven. However, many find these too tedious. You can purchase coco coir refills on our store. Our coco coir is from a farm in Carmen, Cebu, to ensure that they are freshly grounded and not laying under rain for a long time, which can often lead to molds. You may repurpose the discarded coco coir by putting it on your other plants at home.
Do I need to add fertilizer to the microgreens?
Not necessarily, all the nutrition is already inside the seeds, which is everything microgreens need to grow for 2 weeks, before being harvested. If you are growing varieties for more than 2 weeks, you can use the organic seaweed serum that we offer in our store.
