Succulent Greens

10/25/2023

Hello all. I am sad to say I will not be continuing to grow more Microgreens. It’s quite unfortunate since we grew rather quickly in a relatively short amount of time along with our customer base. I have other endeavors that have taken up most of my time. We thoroughly enjoyed growing Microgreens and going to the market. If anyone is interested in buying our growing equipment and seeds let me know. I have plenty of seeds. Shoot me an email or send me a direct message.

Hello all, this week will be my last attendance at Farmers Markets in Foley and Fairhope for a couple of months and high probability for the rest of the year. For this weekend, I will have a wide variety of Microgreens before I take off on my hiatus: Cress, Broccoli, Cabbage (Red), Broccoli Mix, Kale, Arugula, Rambo Purple Radish, Pea, Sunflower, Cantaloupe Melon, & Wheatgrass. Along with some herbs and plants: Thai Chili, Chocolate Mint, and Cherry Tomato plants. See you this weekend! 🌱🌍❤️

Left to right: Cress, Red Acre Cabbage, and Broccoli Mix. How’d that little guy get there. Can you spot where I accidentally dropped a broccoli seed? 🌱

06/13/2023

Cress 🌱 - if you like broccoli or kale with a mild peppery flavor, this has an excellent flavor profile that is not too overpowering.

06/12/2023

Cabbage 🌱 two days after germination.

I always love a simple ribeye steak. Nothing too fancy. Just salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a lil paprika. Rubbed in olive oil and charcoal grilled. Of course pair it with some pea shoots with balsamic and potato salad!

Nice and breezy! We’re here from 11am-4pm!!

Very first batch of Cilantro Microgreens looking good. It’s nice and straight. At this stage, it has a very pungent coriander herb (seed) taste with a hint of licorice. 🌿 Excellent flavor profile!

Since I am asked quite often, “what is so special about Microgreens” other than containing 10 to 100 times more nutrients than fully grown vegetables. (Not 10 to 100 percent, but 10 to 100 TIMES. There’s a difference! Depending on when it is harvested and consumed.) Once it is harvested, as each day passes, the availability of those nutrients diminish over time.

Sulforaphane, the amazing compound found in cruciferous vegetables predominantly in Broccoli Microgreens. Although, it can also be found in Kale, Cabbage, and Cauliflower. It is released from a precursor compound called glucoraphanin, which is converted into sulforaphane once it is chewed, or otherwise damaged.

You can read more about it in my article below. Happy nom nom noms…

The secret to a great tasting breakfast sandwich: fry the eggs with soy sauce then top it with broccoli sprouts and sprinkle some of the Zesty Seasoning. Delicious, I’ll have to open up another bottle!
