I’m finding myself drinking more tea as it gets colder. And I thought I’d experiment a little with some microgreens tea blends. I wanted to share five of these blends with you.
We created this microgreens recipe post to celebrate 15 countries worldwide whose residents visited our site, bought our books, or subscribed to our newsletter.
Making food and grocery choices for our families can be stressful and confusing sometimes. Microgreens versus vegetables are no exception.
Sometimes we have to make the difficult choice between cost and nutrition.
Other times it’s done, we travel across town or stay in the neighborhood.
And in this busy world, it’s down to do we make a quick dinner or spend an hour in the kitchen after a long day.
My sister-in-law called me last week to ask me about microgreens versus baby greens.
The family was moving to a more plant-based diet.
She was making a superfood salad and wanted to know whether to use microgreens or baby greens.
She knew I was growing microgreens.
Which would be better?
What makes microgreens so nutritious? Can microgreens give my body immunity? Can microgreens be the superfood that can help reverse my chronic ailments?
Here is why, along with research-backed information to help you integrate super microgreens into your everyday nutrition.
Have you ever shredded carrots to make muffins, carrot cake, or just a fancy addition to your latest dish?
Shredded carrots look like confetti, don’t they?
And carrots are bright orange, yes?
Don’t you want to know why carrot microgreens don’t look anything like carrots or strings of carrot confetti?
Recently, a friend of mine created a spicy shrimp pasta salad with an edible flower called nasturtium, which got me thinking about nasturtium microgreens. I created this post to let you know what I learned about one of the most nutrient-rich plants on earth.
Lately, I have noticed we throw away leftover microgreens, even after putting them in the fridge. Yesterday I asked my wife, “how can we preserve our microgreens longer than a week?” She answered, “why don’t we try drying microgreens? My mom used to dry herbs and flowers back in the old country. I’m sure there has to be new technology.”
Broccoli microgreens are healthy, more potent than sprouts or mature broccoli, with health benefits and nutritional value, like sulforaphane that fights cancer.

To ensure they eat a balanced diet, I add microgreens to my children’s lunch boxes every day. Now, they love microgreens.
In recent years, microgreens have become one of the popular topics of discussion. As a parent or guardian, you might wonder if microgreens are edible and healthy for your kid.
My family loves microgreens, but we’re not big on left overs. That’s why when my son asked, “How long can you store microgreens”, it got me thinking.
We hadn’t thought about that before. We grow small trays (5”x5”, and 2” deep) at home perfect for growing small amounts of microgreens. That’s about enough for everybody to get two servings at any one meal (35 grams).
And if we have any leftovers, they go in a plastic Ziploc® bag, and one of us eats them the next day. My son’s job is to compost the roots and soil.
According to Garden Research, more American households (77%) are gardening than ever before, and increasingly the face of that gardener is a young one. The organization found in its recent national survey that the 18 to 34 age group reached an all-time gardening high.
Dave Demerling and Roberto Meza are prime examples of the kind of people Colorado Agriculture Commissioner Kate Greenberg and her staff are trying to cultivate as they pursue their major initiatives.
Marty, my next-door neighbor, has been eating my microgreens for months now, and he calls me up last week and asks out of the blue, “Hey Andrew, can microgreens make you sick?”
Turns out, he had read an article that mold on microgreens was common. He just wanted to know are microgreens food-safe and do growers have to follow government standards.
Growing urbanization has pushed farms out of the towns to the peripheries. But a new breed of farmers is taking farming by storm by helping us harvest superfoods sans chemicals and pesticides in our kitchen.
