🌿 Frequently Asked Questions
How many fresh microgreens go into one freeze-dried pouch?
Each freeze-dried pouch contains the equivalent of 4 to 5 full trays of fresh microgreens. That’s about 8 to 10 bags of freshly harvested greens lightly freeze-dried to preserve up to 97% of their nutrients and flavor.
Thanks to the freeze-drying process, you’re getting highly concentrated nutrition in a lightweight, shelf-stable form without losing any of the goodness.
What are microgreens?
Microgreens are the young seedlings of vegetables and herbs, harvested just days after sprouting. Despite their small size, they pack up to 40x more nutrients than their fully grown counterparts. They’re perfect for smoothies, salads, and healthy snacking.
What makes your microgreens different?
Ours are hydroponically grown in Powell River, then freeze-dried to preserve up to 97% of their nutrients—with zero waste. We don’t mass-produce; everything is handcrafted with care, from seed to seal.
Why freeze-dried instead of fresh or dehydrated?
Freeze-drying removes moisture without using heat, which helps preserve vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants that heat-based drying (like dehydrating) destroys. The result? A shelf-stable product that retains the taste, texture, and nutrition of fresh greens ready whenever you are.
