Microgreens and mushrooms, both nutrient-rich and versatile, are grown in controlled environments with a short growing period. Microgreens, young vegetable and herb seedlings, have a mild flavor and short shelf life. Mushrooms, fungi growing on organic matter, have an intense flavor and longer shelf life. Preparation and shelf life differ significantly.
According to Yahoo Finance, the global Microgreens market will reach $3.7 billion by 2030, and the US market will reach $960 million by 2030. Whether you’re a basement or garage-based start-up, a Certified B corporation like AeroFarms, or any entity in between, these numbers present you with a huge opportunity.
My family loves microgreens, but we’re not big on left overs. That’s why when my son asked, “How long can you store microgreens”, it got me thinking.
We hadn’t thought about that before. We grow small trays (5”x5”, and 2” deep) at home perfect for growing small amounts of microgreens. That’s about enough for everybody to get two servings at any one meal (35 grams).
And if we have any leftovers, they go in a plastic Ziploc® bag, and one of us eats them the next day. My son’s job is to compost the roots and soil.
