Microgreens-Tiny Powerhouses of Nutrition
At the BIRMINGHAM FARMERS MARKET, people often stop at our booth and ask "What are microgreens and what do I do with them?" I guess a little education is in order.

Microgreens are the beginning stage of the plant. They are typically 9-12 days old when harvested. In many cases, they taste just like the adult plant. Broccoli tastes like broccoli, and arugula has the same peppery flavor the adult version has. Here's the important part, a USDA study has confirmed that microgreens have up to 40% more nutrients than the adult version of the plant! You get more nutrition while eating less. Our microgreens are grown at our farm year-round in Detroit, using Non-GMO seeds in soil without the use of any pesticides, fertilizers or chemicals. We harvest within 24 hours of delivery to ensure freshness.

What can you do with them? Pretty much anything! Use them as toppings on eggs, pizza, sandwiches, burgers, toast, use them as salads or additions to salads or in smoothies to get that boost.

Did you know we grow more than microgreens at our farm in Detroit?
We grow a variety of flowers for our floral bouquets that Kelly makes up for the Sunday farmers' market. We also grow tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, zucchini, acorn squash, yellow squash, basil and watermelons for our own families and our senior neighbors on the street behind our property.
Lastly, for our grandchildren, we grow BIG pumpkins. We've got at least 2 in the patch that are over 300 lbs and still growing!
