“Fresh, Nutritious, and Grown with Love“

At Mama Grizzly, we’re passionate about fresh, homegrown food; nothing embodies that more than our microgreens. These tiny greens pack a nutritional punch, bursting with vitamins, minerals, and intense flavor. Whether you’re a home cook, a health-conscious eater, or a chef looking to elevate your dishes, our microgreens offer the perfect touch of freshness and nutrition.

Microgreens are young vegetable and herb seedlings harvested at their peak of tenderness and flavor, just after sprouting their first true leaves. Though small, these greens contain up to 40 times the nutrients of their fully grown counterparts, making them a superfood in every sense. They are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, contributing to overall wellness.

Unlike sprouts, which are germinated seeds consumed whole, microgreens are grown in soil or a soilless medium and harvested when their first leaves appear. This allows them to develop more concentrated flavors and nutrients. Some popular microgreens include broccoli, radish, sunflower, pea shoots, mustard greens, and basil.

Microgreens have been around for decades, but they have gained significant popularity in recent years due to their health benefits and culinary versatility. Initially introduced in California restaurants in the 1980s, high-end chefs used them as delicate garnishes. Over time, as more studies confirmed their dense nutritional content, health-conscious consumers began incorporating them into daily diets.

Today, microgreens are more accessible than ever, available at farmers’ markets, specialty grocery stores, and through local growers like Mama Grizzly. Whether you’re looking for a fresh and easy way to boost your nutrient intake or seeking unique flavors to enhance your dishes, microgreens are an excellent choice.

At Mama Grizzly, we take pride in growing microgreens with the utmost care and dedication. Here’s why our greens stand out:

1. Locally Grown, Always Fresh

We cultivate our microgreens in small batches to ensure that every harvest is at its peak freshness. Unlike grocery store greens that may sit in transit for days, our greens are harvested and delivered straight to you, preserving their vibrant flavors and nutrient density.

2. No Chemicals, Just Pure Goodness

We use natural, organic methods to grow our microgreens, free from pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. This ensures that you are getting nothing but pure, nutritious greens without any harmful additives.

3. Packed with Nutrients

Microgreens are nutritional powerhouses, containing high levels of antioxidants, phytonutrients, and essential vitamins and minerals. Research has shown they can help support heart health, boost immunity, and even reduce inflammation.

4. Versatile and Delicious

Our microgreens are not only healthy but also incredibly flavorful. They add a fresh crunch and burst of taste to various dishes. Use them to:

• Enhance salads with a pop of color and nutrition.
• Blend into smoothies for an extra health boost.
• Garnish soups and pasta for a sophisticated touch.
• Add them to sandwiches and wraps for extra flavor and texture.
• Mix into grain bowls and stir-fries for an added burst of nutrients.
• Use as a pizza topping or blend into pestos and dips for a new twist.

At Mama Grizzly, we use a controlled indoor farming environment to ensure optimal growing conditions. Our microgreens are cultivated in high-quality growing mediums, water, and ample light, mimicking ideal natural conditions.

The process includes:

1. Seed Selection – We source high-quality, non-GMO seeds to start the growing process.
2. Planting and Germination – Seeds are carefully planted in a nutrient-rich medium and placed in a dark space to promote strong root development.
3. Growth and Harvest – After a few days, they are exposed to light and monitored for proper hydration and nutrient absorption. Within 7-14 days, they reach the perfect stage for harvest.
4. Delivery and Enjoyment – We harvest and package our microgreens fresh, ensuring they retain their nutritional value and flavor by the time they reach your plate.
