As I talked about in my previous post I’m growing living greens (microgreens) and was starting a new endeavour. Well, I’m bringing my living greens and herbs to our local markets and my first market was last weekend. My greens and herbs were very well received and I am so excited to bring a little green to our otherwise very white area. As you may know I live in northern BC 🇨🇦 And sometimes throughout the winter months it can very be difficult to get fresh greens here.
What I’m hoping to accomplish by providing living greens is that their shelf life is longer then when you buy sprouts or microgreens from the grocery store. My greens are still alive and growing when you receive them and have all their nutritients ready to devour when you cut and wash them. They will easily live happily for a week (or 2) on your counter or table with a little bit of water, but don’t worry about taking care of a houseplant, that’s not what these greens are intended for.
“Cut and eat often” is what these babies are good for, I have three varieties going on my counter at any given time and they are perfect to snip and add to soups, sandwiches, wraps, pizza, salads, nachos or pretty much anything!
I have another market this coming Saturday and am super excited to be bringing more living greens and herbs!
Have a wonderful week 👩🏼🌾
