There is a difference between buying an ingredient and receiving a living product.
Our microgreens, edible flowers, and specialty leaves don't come off a shelf. They are harvested shortly before starting their journey to your kitchen. That is what allows them to arrive with the freshness, texture, and intensity that make all the difference on the plate.
But that quality also depends on the first few minutes after delivery...
With a few very simple steps, you can preserve everything we have cultivated.
Live microgreens (potted)
Live microgreens continue to grow even after reaching you. As long as they remain in the pot, they stay alive, fresh, and ready to be harvested at the exact moment you need them.
To keep them in the best condition:
- Remove the pots from the transport packaging as soon as you receive your order.
- Place them in a spot with indirect natural light at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Whenever the substrate starts to dry out, water from below. Simply place the pot on a saucer or tray with water for about five minutes. The roots will absorb only the necessary water, keeping the leaves dry and healthy.
- Harvest only the amount you are going to use. Use clean, sharp scissors to cut the microgreens close to the base. The rest will remain alive and ready for future use.
Edible flowers and harvested produce
Edible flowers, specialty leaves, and other harvested produce are particularly sensitive to temperature fluctuations and moisture loss. Proper conservation makes all the difference to their shelf life and presentation.
We recommend that you:
- Remove the products from the transport box (styrofoam box) as soon as you receive them.
- Store the containers in the fridge, between 2 °C and 6 °C.
- Always keep the containers tightly closed to preserve natural moisture and prevent odour absorption.
- Remove only the amount needed at the time of use, immediately returning the rest to the fridge.
Small details. Big difference.
The quality of an ingredient doesn't depend solely on how it is grown. It also depends on how it is treated after reaching its destination.
Storing products correctly helps prolong their shelf life, preserves aromas, keeps textures just right, and reduces waste.
These are small steps that make a huge difference!
We do everything to ensure our products reach your kitchen at the ideal moment. Care like this ensures they also arrive on the plate exactly as we imagined: fresh, beautiful, and packed with flavour :)
