Your Questions, Answered!

How do I eat microgreens?

Simply sprinkle them over your favourite dishes—dosa, idli, sandwiches, salads, wraps, omelettes, pasta, soups, or smoothies. No cooking required.

Does boiling / cooking make it unsafe?

Boiling microgreens doesn't make them unsafe—it mainly affects their texture, flavour, and some nutrients.

Here's what happens:

🌿 1. They wilt quickly

Microgreens have very tender stems and leaves. Within 30 seconds to a couple of minutes in boiling liquid, they'll soften and lose their crisp texture.

🥬 2. Some nutrients are reduced

Heat-sensitive nutrients, especially vitamin C and some antioxidants, can decrease with prolonged boiling. Water-soluble nutrients may also leach into the cooking liquid.

The good news is that if you're boiling them in sambar, soup, or dal, those nutrients remain in the dish rather than being discarded (assuming you consume the broth).

🌱 3. They lose some fresh flavour

Many microgreens have bright, peppery, or sweet flavours that become milder after cooking.

🍲 4. They become similar to leafy greens

After boiling, they behave much like spinach or other tender greens—soft and easy to mix into dishes.

So what's the best way?

✅ Best: Add after cooking or just before serving.

✅ Good: Stir into hot food for the last 30–60 seconds.

⚠️ Okay but not ideal: Boil for several minutes.

Can children eat microgreens?

Yes! Microgreens are a great way to add fresh greens to your child's meals. Start with milder varieties if they're trying them for the first time.

Are they suitable for older adults?

Absolutely. They're an easy way to include fresh greens in everyday meals.

How should I store them?

Keep them refrigerated in their original container and consume them within the recommended freshness period for the best taste.

How long do they stay fresh?

Most microgreens stay fresh for 5–7 days when refrigerated properly. (Adjust based on your actual shelf life.)

Should I wash them before eating?

Our microgreens are grown hygienically and are ready to eat. If you prefer, you can give them a gentle rinse just before serving.

Which microgreens should I start with?

Sunflower, broccoli, radish, and mustard are popular beginner choices, each with its own unique flavour profile.

When are they harvested?

We harvest close to dispatch so they reach your home as fresh as possible.

Are they grown without soil?

Yes. Our microgreens are grown in a clean, controlled environment using safe growing media.

Do you use pesticides?

No. Our microgreens are grown without chemical pesticides.

How much should I eat in a day?

A small handful is enough to add freshness and nutrition to your meals. Enjoy them regularly as part of a balanced diet.

Do they taste like vegetables?

Each variety has its own flavour. Some are mild and nutty, while others are peppery or slightly spicy. We recommend trying a few to find your favourite.
