What is the best way to store MicroGreens prior to use?
A. Microgreens and related items should be kept in Refrigeration at 38-40 degrees in a closed container. Basil is very sensitive to low temperatures and may turn dark brown or black within a few hours of exposure to temps below 32 degrees.
How are Microgreens grown?
A. Sprouts are produced entirely in water. The seed is not actually planted. A high density of seed is placed inside of sprouting equipment or enclosed containers. The seed germinates rapidly due to the high moisture and humidity levels maintained in the enclosures. Seeds can also be sprouted in cloth bags that are repeatedly soaked in water. For most sprouts, the seeds are soaked and placed in a rotating drum or container, kept at or near 100% humidity and maintained at a temperature of about 80 degrees F. When this processing is finished, usually after about 48 hours, the sprouts are ready for packaging and sale.
