Greens
A local sustainable microfarm
Microgreens are young, visually stunning, aromatic, flavorful, and nutritious plants. They are grown on soil and are fully mature between 7 and 21 days. You might see them as a garnish at fancy restaurants. Microgreens make everything taste great. There are a number of health benefits of adding microgreens to your diet.
iHeartGreens was born out of the desire to increase the availability of delicious nutrient dense vegetables in an environmentally sustainable way. The May Valley/Castro Ranch neighborhoods are in a food desert. I drive 4 miles to get to one of the larger grocery stores in my area to buy vegetables that are not locally sourced. Farming microgreens has satisfied my goal of eating some of the most nutritious food available.
Microgreens to order with free delivery in the May Valley/Castro Ranch/El Sobrante areas.
Microgreens are packed full of micronutrients which are essential for good health. Microgreens are rich in vitamins A, C, B, and K. They contain a host of minerals like potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron.
Microgreens contain significant amounts of polyphenols that act as powerful antioxidants. Studies have shown that these compounds provide significant protection against the development of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, infections, aging, asthma, etc. (ncbu.nlm.nih.gov)
