DO NOT PUT THEM UNDER LIGHT AFTER HARVEST I just did and it ruined 30 ounces of broccoli microgreens that i had growing for a wedding thanks for your IDIOTIC ADVICE now I have to inform them i dont have anything. The Broccoli withered away after 20 min, they were perfect when i cut them had a little moisture put them under and its all ruined now!
cutting with scissors - bad idea. You are shortening shelf life by a few days and risking quick rotting. Recording a public video with that awful net all over your face? Another bad idea.
40 times more or 40 % ? "Early research has indicated that microgreens contain up to 40% more phytochemicals (beneficial nutrients and components) than their full-grown counterparts."
You can help build a positive future by recognizing the inernationally recognized term called Regenerative Agriculture, and not make up your own and divide anyone on the side of sustainability
If you know how to pack the cut microgreens to send to another country, please tell me. It is necessary to protect the freshness for at least two weeks.
How long can you regrow cut greens? Do they eventually just stop growing when the seed runs out of energy, or is there X amount of times you can cut and regrow? Also do the greens lose nutrients the more they're cut and regrown? For example, will the first grow be more nutrient dense than second, third, etc? Thank you!
Why would you do that? Traveling? Probably not more than a day or 2. Maybe less than 24 hours. You honestly should be mindful about how long you keep it out of the fridge when putting together a salad.
Hey Friend! Great video. Would you be so kind as to share how many ounces each container is please. Not the amount of ounces of Microgreens, but the actual containers. Most growers just say small, medium or large and tell you the weight of the actual harvested Microgreens but not the containers. I've heard some growers use 16oz clam shells for packaging 2oz of Microgreens. I am also a grower who is starting back up after a long break and have a limited budget at the moment so I want to be sure to buy the correct sizes. I'll be buying the compostable ones. Thanks so much! Keep on growing! Trinity
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me
@Ameer Joziah Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Are you selling these as a washed product? Are you charging like 20 dollars per ounce for this stuff? With all the labor you are putting into this process, between the sanitizing, UV lights, hand harvesting, drying, more sanitizing, more everything, your labor costs are astronomical. Have you calculated out your labor costs?
Absolutely we use Vegeware and purchas them through Rust Belt Riders who do composting in addition to providing sourcing for compostable wares! www.vegwareus.com/us/page/our-materials/
Depending in where you live there will be different legal requirements to sell produce. At the minimum in thr USA you will need to get trained and certified in Produce Grower Safety by the USDA. Additionally if you plan to wash and mix your greens you will need processing training and certification.
Actually the only Covid related thing here is the face mask! Othwrwise we always wear gloves and sanitize EVERYTHING just to make sure the food is always super safe.
We have noticed the condensation inside the clams being the biggest effect on shelf life. Our customers don't typically have any issues however, mostly because of the drying we do before packaging but also because we put a bit of sterilized paper towel in the bottom of each clam to soak up some of that condensation.
