Microgreens

Hi! I’m Chef Ryan and I offer a variety of microgreens. All my microgreens are grown hydroponically using organic substrate, nutrients and seeds. I want to be your primary supplier for microgreens! I grow for both personal consumption and for restaurants/wholesale.

As a Chef I care about the quality of my produce. I will only grow high quality produce. I will not sell produce that does not meet my Chef standards.

To place a commercial or personal order please call me (Chef Ryan) directly 720-388-4063.

What are Microgreens?

Microgreens are the stage of plant development between a sprout and a baby plant. In this stage they are full of intense flavor and intense concentrations of nutrients. Some microgreens can have 100 times as much nutrients as the adult plants. In short microgreens are the first health food that actually tastes amazing. Its the best of both worlds!

You can add microgreens to everyday items like sandwiches, salads, fried rice, etc to add a pop of extra nutrition and delicious freshness to anything! Or you can create meals specifically with microgreens in mind, like a mixed microgreen salad with olives and feta. What I love about microgreens is that you can easily create great tasting healthy food without the pain of planning out special meals or smoothies. No weird powders or extra mess. Just cut what you need or pull a small handful from a pre-cut bag and add it to whatever you’re cooking already!

We offer microgreens in two purchasing methods:

1: By the Ounce. Simply call us to see what loose microgreens we have available and tell us what weight you’d like to buy. The price is dictated by the grow time.

2: By the Tray. We grow our microgreens in standard hydroponic 10″x 20″ trays. We can grow two separate varieties of microgreens in a single tray provided that they have similar grow times. Ie: Radishes and Salad Mix. Trays are grown to custom order and is the best way to guarantee a supply of microgreens.

We offer the following microgreens at the following prices:

Microgreen Salad Mix

You can use this literally anywhere where lettuce or field greens are required. A perfect high end substitute. Use it on burgers, salads, sandwiches, etc. What I love about this is that it makes salads taste unbelievably better, and with the short stems that intertwine like angel hair pasta. This intertwining makes a soft and interesting texture and an amazing blending of flavors with every bite. No more run away salad bits!
