Hello Reader,

My neighbor Raiko called me panicked about food safety after that Walmart shrimp recall. "Between radioactive shrimp and bacteria scares, what's even safe anymore?"

I told her about the tiny plants sitting in her fridge that could be her secret weapon.

New Czech research just showed microgreens pack serious antibacterial power against the exact bacteria making people sick. Radish and onion varieties crushed food poisoning bacteria in lab tests.

But that's not all this week...

Two indoor farming giants merged into a $200M powerhouse serving 17,000 stores. A basement grower sells thousands using simple LEDs. Delhi kids ditched plastic packaging after growing their own food. Plus, flash-cooking onion microgreens unlocks concentrated nutrition.

Your gut health depends on this information.
