Storage & Serving Information.
Our microgreens are harvested at the markets and UNWASHED. It's important to keep your mix dry and store them in an airtight container in the lower shelves of your fridge at around 4°C. Microgreens have a reduced shelf life if there is too much humidity in the air as this causes condensation and your micro‑greens will degrade. Only wash your microgreens prior to use by gently rinsing under a cool tap to remove any traces of soil (which is invisible to the naked eye) and any harmful bacteria. Microgreens can spoil quickly, but when stored properly they normally can last from one to two weeks. The best before date will be clearly displayed on the label.

We operate a zero waste packaging system, so please help us by bringing your own container, or you can purchase one of our 'Rinse-Return-Refill' glass jars.
