Microgreens World · The Variety Library

The stall that answers the hard question sells the bag

The Variety Library reads the microgreens research for you, crop by crop, and hands you wording you can defend with a customer standing in front of you.

You already know the moment

You grow clean trays and you show up every Saturday. Then a customer holds up a bag, asks whether these are actually better for you than the grown plant, and the sale hangs on what you say next. Say too much and you have made a health claim you cannot back. Say too little and she puts the bag down.

The number you found online is worse than nothing. The most repeated figures about microgreens belong to different crops entirely, and the one customer who checks is the one you least wanted to lose.

And reading the research yourself is a second job. Hundreds of papers, paywalls, two labs measuring the same crop and landing far apart. You are a grower, not a research librarian. That gap, between what the science says and what you can say, is where stall sales go to die.

So I closed the gap myself. The three guides so far began as 893 database records. I screened the 160 papers that involved these crops and kept 34, every one read to table level, because a paper’s abstract and its own data tables disagree more often than anyone wants to believe.

This library is new, so I will not dress it up with testimonials I do not have. I will show you the work, and I will back it with a promise you can hold. It is a few lines down.

How these pages read evidence

These are the rules I read every paper under, printed here so you can hold me to them.

Figures come from a paper’s tables, never its abstract. Where the text and the table disagree, the table wins.
Every value carries its growing conditions, because a figure is not a property of the plant.
Where a crop loses, the page says so. One row of every table is the losing row when the evidence supports it.
No multipliers. The famous ones usually belong to a different crop, and the pages explain that instead.
Most of what gets screened is never cited. The counts on every finished guide are the sieve at work.
Replication outranks magnitude. A finding two labs agree on beats a bigger number from one, and single-study rows say so.

Then each guide turns those rules into the part you take to market: what you can say and what you must not, side by side, in sentences built to be read out loud across a table. That wording is the product. Nobody else sells it because nobody else does the reading.

Now picture the same Saturday. The same customer, the same question. This time you hand her a printed sheet with your farm’s name at the top, and the answer on it is one you can stand behind, because someone read the actual studies and wrote it to be said out loud.

She feels the difference between a stall that repeats the internet and a stall that shows its work. She buys the bag. Next week she brings a friend, and you already know how quickly a market learns which table has the answers.

Pick your crop

Each finished guide carries the evidence, the honest limits, and the six questions your stall gets asked.

3 of 39

Thirty-nine crops are on the table and three have been read to table level so far. Every crop below either has its finished guide, has its research post live while the guide waits its turn, or sits in the reading pile. The digest announces each new guide the week it lands.

Two editions, one job each

Same evidence underneath. Pick the one that matches whose name goes on the sheet.

Commercial use

Walk into Saturday with the answers

A brandable Word document that becomes yours in ten minutes: right click the logo, choose your own, type your farm name, print the two stall sheets. The health language, disclaimers and citations stay locked exactly as written, which means the wording that protects you cannot be broken by accident.

You spend the ten minutes. The 160 papers were my job. That trade is the whole offer.

The commercial edition is $47, and every figure in it is traced to a published table.

Personal use

Know what is worth eating

The three one-pagers in PNG, Microgreens World branded, answering the questions worth asking before you eat something a stranger grew, or grow it yourself. Print them, pass them along, pin one inside the pantry door.

Thinking about a stall of your own someday? The corner box on each sheet shows the way up.

The personal edition is $7.

Here is the promise from a few lines up. If anyone, ever, finds a figure in any guide that does not trace to a published table, the corrected guide goes out to every buyer at no extra cost. And when the research moves, the new edition follows the same way, to the same inbox.

All sales are final on digital files. With that promise standing behind them, final is enough.

Not ready to pick a crop?

The digest carries each new variety the week it publishes, along with what moved in the research. One email, once a week, and the next guide lands there first.

No selling between issues. Leave whenever you like.

Everything in the library is educational material about food and the research behind it. Nothing here is medical advice, and no microgreen treats, prevents or cures any condition. Each guide’s page carries its full source count, and each research post carries the reference list.
