• Freshness: Eaten when picked. No loss of nutrients sitting on the produce shelf. Great fresh, flavors!
• Variety: You can grow more varieties of salad greens than are available in the supermarket.Your salads will come alive with flavor!
• Digestibility: As baby plants, their delicate cell walls easily release elemental nutrients. Abundant enzymes make them easier to digest.
• Space & Time: It’s Easy! Just add water! No soil. No bugs. No green thumb required. No special lights. One pound grows in only 9 inches of space.
• Economics: Seeds can multiply many times their weight and you can save money by growing your own rather than buying the grown sprouts. Instead of 1 head of lettuce, you get 1,000's of micro-lettuce leaves. You can have a delicious 100% Organic Salad 52 weeks a year for only pennies per pound!
