Collaboration not competition
Instead of competing, we believe our community is better served through collaboration with other great local businesses. We're thrilled to partner with Duncan Farms, Huntsville's local permaculture based farm. Since there are so many of you, we wanted to dedicate a page to the micros in this week's basket!
Micro broccoli
One ounce of broccoli microgreens has the same nutritional value as 20 ounces of the mature broccoli.
Broccoli microgreens contain up to 10-100x sulfurphane than mature broccoli. Sulfurphane is an antioxidant known to kill and prevent cancer from spreading. This antioxidant acts as the security guard of the cell, guarding your cells from harmful free radicals.
Microgreens are essentially young plants. Microgreens have been found to be up to 40 times more nutritious than their mature counterparts! Numerous studies have shown the increased benefits of incorporating microgreens into a daily diet. Interested in seeing the proof?

How to care for your microgreens
Main highlights:
- Keep your micros on the counter in a flat dish with water in the bottom
- Water micros each day or every other day
- Water your micros from underneath only, never from above (this will cause mold)
- The white hairs at the beginning of the pad are NOT mold, they are the beginning of the root system
- To harvest, cut above the root line
