Nutritional Information

Living Foods are a food source in Nature full of concentrated nutrients that can help maintain our bodies’ health and strengthen our immune systems.

The Living Food Lifestyle

By adding living foods to your diet on a daily basis, you can improve your overall health. Living foods, aka "nature's protectors" contain concentrated antioxidants in the form of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and plant pigments. These are our first line of defense against free radical damage and toxic build up. Unfortunately, most of the foods we consume are depleted of these essential nutrients. Eating living foods daily is a beneficial way to heal your body, help reverse any damage done and help protect against future deterioration.

Exceptionally Fresh

Living foods are inherently fresh because they are still living. Since our produce is harvested within 24 hours of delivery, you enjoy the benefits of superior quality, flavor and an enhanced shelf-life. You cannot obtain foods this fresh in most markets.

Sustainable

Living foods are grown more sustainably compared to conventional agriculture practices. Microgreens use:

  • Less water. 
  • Need no fertilizer or pesticides.
  • Use less land via vertical farming. 


Our compostable clamshell containers and growing trays are washed and reused while our growing medium is composted. 


Locally grown food results in less transportation pollution and a more sustainable community.


General Nutrition from Microgreens

  • VITAMIN C

    The 2012 study on microgreens reported that even the microgreen sample that had the lowest levels of vitamin C contained a whopping 20 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams – that's almost twice the amount of vitamin C found in tomatoes!

  • BETA KEROTENE

    Some microgreens appear to contain even more beta-carotene than carrots: 12 milligrams per 100 grams compared with 8 milligrams in boiled carrots, according to the 2012 study. The researchers who analyzed the beta-carotene content of microgreens found that these super-nutritious greens also provide other carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin.

  • VITAMIN E

    Back in 1967, a team of scientists from Yale University showed that young pea seedlings grown in light contain significant levels of tocopherol (vitamin E). Similarly, the researchers responsible for the 2012 microgreen study found substantial amounts of tocopherols in the tested greens. The amount of alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol combined ranged from 7.9 to 126.8 milligrams per 100 grams, with green daikon radish microgreens scoring the highest value in this analysis. For adults, the recommended daily allowance for vitamin E is 15 milligrams of alpha-tocopherol, meaning that eating just a small amount of daikon radish microgreens would cover your daily requirement for this important antioxidant vitamin.

  • VITAMIN K

    Vitamin K also offers health benefits for humans by promoting normal blood clotting and preventing excessive bruising. Vitamin K also plays an important role in maintaining strong and healthy bones.


    To reap the health benefits of microgreens, eat them immediately after harvest. Microgreens, like most other superfoods that are consumed fresh, begin to lose their nutritional value rapidly after harvest. Consider growing your own microgreens at home as this will allow you to decide exactly when you harvest your crop.


    Another way to boost the nutritional value of recipes made with microgreens is to use extra-virgin olive oil or another healthy oil. The presence of oil helps improve the bioavailability of the fat-soluble nutrients in microgreens (carotenoids, vitamin E, and vitamin K).

OUR IMPACT

on the planet

Less water

Less than 1L of H2O per tray to your plate. Microgreens use 200 times less water than the adult plant. Little to no H2O wasted.

Local agriculture

We are part of a movement of hyperlocal farmers that help to enrich the traditional, non-sustainable food system.

100% organic

Our food does not have growth regulators or additives found in other products.

No pesticides

Our harvest is clean-growing and sustainable. No pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are needed.

No Waste

Microgreens tend to produce less waste per crop. With the exception of the roots 100% of the microgreen biomass generated can be consumed.

Green logistics

In order to co-exist with Mother Nature and not leave a large carbon footprint our clamshells are reuseable for future orders.

Microgreens are rich in potassium, iron, zinc and magnesium.  They are a great source of antioxidants and the nutrient levels in microgreens can be significantly higher than those found in mature greens.

Dr. Comstock

Mama B’s Microgreens are hands down the best microgreens I have ever had.  They are delivered within 24 hours of being harvested — meaning they stay fresh for a week in the fridge, if they last that long. And the different varieties available make each week an adventure.
