Care Instructions

CARING FOR YOUR LIVING MICROGREENS IS AS EASY AS 1-2-3

Your microgreens are alive and growing on a natural coco pad (the brown material on the bottom) and require minimal care 

  1. once a day, soak the coco pad (not the microgreens) in water for 5 mins*
  2. drain the excess water from the pad
  3. store your microgreens in your refrigerator produce drawer

When you are ready to eat them, harvest your fresh microgreens by cutting them with a sharp scissor or knife near the base of the stem and enjoy!

*The best way to soak the pad is to add some water to a tray or plate and set the pad down on it. Make sure you only soak the bottom of the pad – keep the microgreens dry.

MOLD VS ROOT HAIRS

There is a difference between mold and root hairs with living microgreens. Check out the photos below.  The picture on the left is mold. Mold has a characteristic, spider web like appearance.  The picture on the right is root hairs. Root hairs are perfectly normal for many living microgreens. Root hairs are the plant seeking  moisture and nutrients.
