Use Them, Don't Loose Them

One of the questions I get asked all the time is: "How long do microgreens last in the fridge?"

The truth is, microgreens can last up to two weeks when stored properly. But here's the thing: their peak freshness. that crisp bite, vibrant color, and burst of flavor is in the first week. Click here for storage tips.

So instead of tucking them away in the fridge like a special-occasion treat, let's flip the script: use them on everything, every day, from breakfast to dinner.

Breakfast: Wake Up Your Plate

Start the day strong by scattering microgreens where you wouldn't expect them:

• Over scrambled eggs or tucked inside an omelet

• Blended into a smoothie for an extra nutrient kick

• Sprinkled on avocado toast

• Layered into a breakfast burrito or quesadilla

Lunch: Light, Fresh, Flavorful

Midday meals are the perfect time to keep it crisp:

• Use microgreens as the base of a quick salad (no lettuce required)

• Top soups or chili for a bright finish

• Layer into sandwiches, wraps, or paninis

• Mix into pasta salad, grain bowls, or left-overs

Dinner: A Flavor Boost That Looks Fancy

Dinner is where microgreens turn an ordinary plate into something chef-worthy:

• Toss them into stir-fries right before serving

• Use them as a fresh topping on pizza or flatbread

• Sprinkle them over roasted veggies, potatoes, or baked salmon

• Garnish creamy pastas or risottos for color and bite

• Add a small handful to tacos, burgers, or even mac & cheese

Microgreens aren't something to save-they're something to savor. Use them generously, every day, and let your meals come alive. Trust me: once you start tossing microgreens on everything, you'll never want to hide them in the fridge again.

Storage Tips for Microgreens

• keep them in their original container or better yet, use our stainless steel containers - they last a really long time in those

• the container gets 'sweaty' as it goes from fridge to warm air

• if you notice it getting 'sweaty' inside, wipe with a paper towel to dry the lid or container

• don't store where the cold air comes out, it has a greater risk of freezing, which will kill the microgreens

• store in the crisper, door, or where they won't get too cold

• to sum up, keep them dry, chilled, not too cold/warm
