North Shore neighbors now have direct access to fresh locally grown microgreens
Big Lake Microgreens, is a small ‘direct to community’ farm that offers
FREE HOME DELIVERY anywhere from Two Harbors to Grand Marais
What we like most is how easy they are to use:
Throw them on a sandwich and it’s quickly a nutritious tasty meal.
Forget to make a salad for the family dinner?
just put some micros on your plate as a side.
The sunflower shoots are a great snack while watching the game or reading a book.
Toss the broccoli in some scrambled eggs for an easy start to the day
What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development after the sprouting stage.
In the photo below, you can see sprouts on the left, microgreens in the middle and a more mature vegetable plant on the right:
Your doctor has probably told you to eat more leafy greens that are good for your heart. This is a real simple way to get that without having to eat a whole plate of vegetables every day.
Children love them as they are already bite size, and moms love the safe nutrition they are giving their families.
- Their nutrient content is more concentrated
- Their vitamin and antioxidants levels are up to 40X higher than more mature greens
- They’re richer in B vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc
