Hello Reader,

You know that feeling when everything you thought you knew gets turned upside down?

Meanwhile, former banker Jacqueline Jackson discovered one simple temperature trick that changed her entire growing operation in Alabama.

Plus, we're seeing restaurants grow fresh microgreens right in their dining rooms, small farms beating global supply chains, and why your windowsill microgreens are safer than most supplements.

Oh, and there's a power bowl recipe inspired by ancient Egyptian pyramid builders that'll make you rethink everything about nutrition.
