FAQ

Microgreens are young seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs. Microgreens can be harvested and eaten in a week to 10 days and are more nutritionally dense than the parente plant.

Freshness - We have found microgreens stay fresh and crisp up to 7 days.  Peas and Sunflowers last the longest, 14+ days and they are still fresh and crisp.

Keep in your refrigerator, (not below about 5C) they should last for 7 to 10 days no problem. We recommend eating before 7 days  because we will have another fresh harvest every week!

If you feel they are losing their freshness, put them in the freezer and save for smoothies. 

I don't recommend freezing the spicier more flavorful ones such as radish, wasabi, and rocket arugula. I did that once!

Our microgreens are grown indoors. under controlled conditions. I know, I am guilty of eating them straight from the tray.

Microgreens are delicate and if we did wash them before delivery it would sacrifice shelf life and quality. 

Seeds are alive, and they can have bacteria living on them. Even during the 5-14 days the microgreens have been growing, bacteria, yeast, and fungi can be in the air, mingling with them.  We have an ozone/electric air purifier to minimize air borne particles.

When we deliver, as you ordered online, we will be able to close the order as fulfilled. An email will be sent your order was delivered. This will act at your notice to make sure you bring them in an store them in your fridge to maintain their freshness.

Microgreens do not tolerate below 5C during winter delivery very long, not tolerate above 20C during summer months. So please place them in a cool place right away or have a cooler placed outside your door, and note that in delivery instructions.

Not all microgreens are organic. MicroBliss seeds are certified organic and we can provide papers.

We have chosen not to attain organic certification. Because we are an indoor growing facility, we are able to control the growing environment. MicroBliss greens never comes in contact with pesticides or pest, whereas many organic farms spray and apply organic pesticides to the produce. Our greens are truly pesticide-residue-free!

Our greens are grown in  a specialty blended soil without the addition of additives or fertilizers, whereas non-organic microgreens are exposed to fertilizers and other additives.

Most popular because they are local and fresh each week.

These tiny plants are packed with flavor.

They are nutrient dense, providing more health benefits than mature plants..

It's a fact that the farther food has to travel, and the longer it takes from farm to plate, the nutritional value drops. You don't want greens that come from the other side of the planet, they're not good you, your family, or the environment and many are becoming conscious of this and supporting local.

MicroBliss considers our microgreens hyper-local. We aim to not have our produce travel 100Km from our growing facilty.

Our microgreens are packaged in plant based, compostable packaging, not plastic. They are biodegradable in as little as 3 months and become organic compost when they disintegrate.  

Our supplies are purchased from local businesses, preferably privately owned. We purchase from Canadian suppliers to minimize our greenhouse emissions associated with transportation.

Our growing medium soil is used in local gardens to enhance the soil composition.  We aim to minimize anything going to the landfill. Wastage is usually from cardboard packaging and is blue binned. We are searching for eco-friendly bags to deliver our microgreen containers to you.

We do not use harsh cleaning chemicals. Our sanitizing is done with food grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). All areas of the production are cleaned with eco-friendly products from Melaleuca (see our store online)

Unsold microgreens will be donated to local school programs, church food banks, and local food hubs How Micro Bliss fulfills our sustainability commitment
