[Wikipedia] Microgreens are vegetable greens (not to be confused with sprouts or shoots) harvested just after the cotyledon leaves have developed with one set of true leaves. They are used as a nutrition supplement, a visual enhancement, and a flavor and texture enhancement. Microgreens are used to add sweetness and spiciness to foods. Microgreens are smaller than “baby greens” because they are harvested very soon after sprouting, rather than after the plant has matured to produce multiple leaves. Among upscale grocers, they are now considered a specialty genre of greens, good for garnishing salads, soups, sandwiches, and plates.[1][2] They can be used as a main vegetable as well in certain recipes for added flavor and nutrition.

Somewhere between a sprout and a baby veggie

“Microgreens are also called ‘vegetable confetti’ because they are tiny, beautiful greens characterized by a variety of colors and shapes, as well as by very different and intense, sometimes surprising, flavors,” Di Gioia says. There are hundreds of different varieties of microgreens. Pea, sunflower, broccoli, and radish microgreens are some of the most popular varieties among Matchett’s customers. Other varieties include beets, Swiss chard, cucumber, sweet pea, endive, savoy, Brussels sprouts, mustards, cauliflower, tatsoi, spinach, kohlrabi, mint, basil, sorrel, cauliflower, arugula, collard, fenugreek, carrot, mizuna, corn, turnip, chervil, celery, scallions, and komatsuna...

“Over the last few years, several studies have suggested that microgreens are nutrient-dense, being a good source of essential minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants,” Di Gioia says. While “there is a lot of variability between species and growing conditions,” as Di Gioia points out, generally speaking microgreens often have a greater concentration of these micronutrients than their full-grown counterparts, pound for pound. Many microgreens are four to six times higher in vitamins and antioxidants than the fully grown plant, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. (source)

Oooh the barley microgreens are doing great!

If this works out and they’re tasty, I’ll set up some more in mushroom tubs; probably some legumes like peas, peanuts or lentils; some brassicas like broccoli or Brussels Sprouts, maybe some quinoa, and I’ve seen interesting things about wild flowers that are very suitable for this.

I’m always interested in expanding the range of things that we eat, given how limited our modern diet is compared to the range of things humans have eaten across past cultures.

My husband and I are a bit late to the party on some of these skills but we have been completely outpriced from groceries, especially lately without reliable income.

Pictured is:

1) the two of us finally buying the metal pans and other supplies and re-igniting a bakers' fire in our hearts for some fresh bread. Came out wonderfully (Kyle has made bread a lot as a teen luckily. Ive only done it twice before, so his experience was key to not fucking it up when we only followed the back of the bag) I looked back on the recipe and receipts later-- and was a little high on the price I quoted to my snap friends. Probably more like $3 worth of the flour, and $1 or less of the other ingredients. Wear & tear is a real cost tho especially with shitty-made kitchen products nowadays. Plus like... $0.20 of dish detergent or something that shits expensive and the pans are huge and numerous for bread making.

2) MICROGREENS. Hopefully Kyle makes posts about them because theres plenty to say. Yummy. Roughly $1.0-$1.5 "cost per tray". ~$1.1 worth of seeds, and idk a tiny amount of cheap, water soluable nutrients that probably cost $0.2-$0.3 for what we used up. Plus old plastic trays needing reuse. Plus about 10 days. Pictured is one "trays worth", which offered some delicious pea shoot nutrition to our dinner. Just about the right portion for 2 of us. We probably could have eaten more the first time but wouldnt do so every day for sure. We have like 6 different types plants we are/going to work on, so again watch @angelnachos for some other posts on that progress

EDIT 1) Kyle told me to not forget the growing medium in the cost. "Hydroton" was about $15 for 2 lbs + shipping (we shipped with other stuff, but it can be found locally in hydroponic supply stores). It covered maybe ~6 "trays worth", and are reusable. You just boil them between uses. They seem quite tough but only time will tell the exact wear & tear cost there. When I discover it-- I can create the proper depreciation schedule; and then toss that schedule in the garbage because accounting sucks and microgreens are cool

Harvest Morning & New Horizons: A Prelude to Alpine Microgreen's Dreams

https://youtu.be/dvhm765gOhA

🌞🌱 Day 12 Harvest Day & A Peek into the Future! 🌱🌞

Happy Monday, everyone! 🎉 Let's start the week with a burst of motivation: "Every morning starts a new page in your story. Make it a great one today!" As we harvest today’s bounty, we're also gearing up for an exciting new chapter starting on the first of May at our upcoming Alpine Microgreens Farm! 📖💪

Today marks a pivotal moment in our microgreens journey—not only are we reaping the lush harvest of our current crops, but we're also on the brink of expanding our passion into a bigger space next month. This harvest presented a significant learning experience. I distributed my products to six different golf courses and three restaurants, where I received feedback that emphasized the need for better packaging and a cleaner presentation. Instead of using see-through clamshells and a plain white plastic bag without any labels, it became clear that a more professional and appealing packaging approach was necessary. The next round of samples will be sourced from our newly established Alpine Microgreens Farm! 🌿🚀🌿🚀

📚 Intriguing Microgreens Facts for Harvest Day:

Rapid Growth Cycles: Microgreens are the sprinters of agriculture, ready for harvest within just 1 to 3 weeks after planting, making them an ideal crop for continuous production cycles. 🕒🌱

Nutrient Powerhouses: They pack a remarkable nutritional punch, often containing higher levels of vitamins and minerals per gram than their mature plant counterparts. 🍽️💪

Sustainability Champions: Microgreens require minimal water and space, making them a sustainable choice for urban settings and reducing our ecological footprint. 🌍♻️

As we celebrate today's harvest, let’s look forward to the opportunities that Alpine Microgreens Farm will bring starting this May. This new facility, with its ample space and dedicated areas for growth, will enable us to cultivate more varieties and connect more closely with our community. 🏡🌱

Here’s to a fruitful harvest today and to the future growth at Alpine Microgreens Farm! 🌟🍃

Stay inspired, and let’s make this week as abundant as our microgreens harvest!
