Hello Reader,

Your microgreens just got a massive upgrade.

New research shows storage techniques that extend freshness from 5 days to 16 days. Temperature control at 4°C combined with LED light treatments and modified atmosphere packaging changes everything for growers and home users.

Harris Teeter stocks AeroFarms microgreens nationwide - proof that mainstream acceptance is here. James Badue transforms his family through microgreens farming after prison, starting with food sovereignty at home. Kale microgreens pack 25x more nutrients than mature plants.

Plus: Tracey Feeney's small-batch Mobile operation serves home cooks and professional chefs. Our new Emerald Vitality Elixir recipe turns potent kale microgreens into liquid sunshine.

The science behind 16-day freshness will change how you store and sell microgreens.
