Stop Buying Grocery Store Greens

Fresh, safe, and economical produce is NOT the grocery store norm. The average head of lettuce travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate.

Contaminated food recalls are on the rise – even for organic produce. The current trend is for over 140 recalls each month which is a 72% increase in total product recalls year after year.

For the last several years, securing fresh and safe food at the local grocer has become increasingly difficult. Empty shelves are more common than ever before. This indicates just how fragile our food supply chain really is.

Inflation is pushing up transportation costs which has increased the price of produce by more than 8%. According to the USDA, food prices are expected to continue to rise above historical average in 2023.

The good news is, there is a solution to the rising concerns over food freshness, safety, availability and increasing prices… and it is easy. So easy in fact that anyone, anywhere, anytime can do it! The Good Box microgreens grow kit is the answer.

Hi There, Susan Here!

Making fresh, safe, and healthy food accessible to all people no matter where they live or how much time they have is something I am very passionate about.

One of my favorite “little” crops with BIG and lasting value is microgreens.

Microgreens are baby vegetable and herb greens that are harvested when they’re just a few inches tall.

You can easily add this flavor-packed crop to your diet in the freshest and safest way possible – by growing your own indoors, 365 days a year no matter where you live, what the weather is like, or how much gardening experience you have. Anyone can do it!

Let me tell you more about why this is the #1 crop you should be growing right now and introduce you to the best microgreens grow kit on the market!

4 Reasons to Grow Microgreens

⇒ Microgreens contain valuable nutrients: Research conducted by the University of Maryland found that microgreens have 40 times the nutrients of “true leaves” on mature plants.

⇒ Microgreens grow quickly: Many microgreens grow from seed to harvest in under 7 days making these little plants the fastest growing crop ever.

⇒ Microgreens can be grown all year long indoors: Microgreens are an all year crop that can be grown 365 days a year indoors – no matter where you live or what the weather is like.

⇒ Growing microgeens is cost effective: Purchasing microgreens in the store will cost, on average, $3.75 an ounce. When you grow them yourself it will cost an average of $.60 an ounce. That is a MASSIVE savings!!

Nutrients in Microgreens:

  • Protective antioxidants
  • Vitamins
  • Minerals
  • Enzymes
  • And a variety of other powerhouse phytonutrients

Microgreens Over Multivitamins

I tell people that growing microgreens is like growing your very own multivitamins right on your kitchen counter. When you get the nutrients you need from food, such as microgreens, your body understands what to do with it.

Supplementing with multivitamin pills is a popular pursuit but one that must be approached with caution. Many of the vitamins and supplements on the market are loaded with fillers, made with subpar ingredients and quite expensive.

Additionally, multivitamins contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals because the body does not absorb them well in supplement form. However, when you consume microgreens, the body knows exactly what to do with all of the goodness found in these plants.

Yes, seeds that contain gluten, such as barley and wheat, are gluten-free at the microgreen stage.

Because many microgreen types have high vitamin K levels, large quantities may cause issues for people taking blood thinner medication. If you take this medication, speak with your doctor before enjoying microgreens.

No. Micgroreens only need sunlight and water as they contain all they need to sprout, grow and survive.

Root hair, also called cilia, is a natural structure of the root that helps to increase surface area and reaches into the water. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between mold and root hair. Here are some things to look for:

  • Root hairs are fuzzy; mold is like a spider web
  • Root hairs are not slimy; mold is
  • Root hairs have no odor; mold smells musty
  • Root hairs will disappear after rinsing and come back in a few hours; mold does not disappear after rinsing
  • Root hair is found on the root part; mold is located above the soil levels or between microgreens.

Microgreens like to rest on each other while growing; check that you have sown seeds densely enough. It might also be past time to harvest.

Microgreens that are weak and leggy may have spent too long in the dark or not gotten enough light. Yellow microgreens are expected in the blackout period since the chlorophyll in the leaves has not carried out photosynthesis. When micros are placed in the light, they will turn green.

The jute grow mat must remain wet but not soaking throughout the growing period. Do not let the mat dry out at any time. You can also spritz microgreens with a mister for additional moisture.
