Current Facts
Beautifully and deliciously accentuating the fine dining experience, chic MicroGreens’ tasty stems and leaves create an eye-catching gourmet presentation that definitely delights the palates of diners. Tiny seedlings of herbs and greens, nutritious MicroGreens are today’s popular gourmet garnish and excellent flavor accent offering a multitude of colors, textures and distinct flavors. Grown in soil or soil-like materials, MicroGreens depend on sunlight and air circulation to flourish, unlike sprouts that are grown in water and require a dark environment with high humidity. Cut just above the soil, MicroGreens are harvested one to two inches tall and seven to twenty-one days after planting when their very first leaves appear. Fresh Origins Farm, located at San Marcos, California, is also reputed as a chef's favorite grower with its extraordinary array of edible FreshFlowers™, PetiteGreens™, TenderGreens™, Fresh Shoots, FreshLeaf, TinyVeggies™ and MiniCrown™ series.
