What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are young vegetables harvested at their peak flavor and tenderness.
They’re small in size but packed with nutrients — often containing up to 40x more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than mature vegetables.
Eating microgreens helps support a strong immune system, boosts energy levels, and reduces inflammation, all while adding fresh, vibrant flavor to your meals. They’re incredibly easy to use — just toss them into salads, sandwiches, smoothies, or on top of any dish.
If you want a simple, delicious way to eat healthier, feel better, and enjoy chef-quality greens at home — microgreens are the answer.
Microgreens are one of the most versatile and flavor-packed foods you can keep in your kitchen. Their vibrant colors, fresh taste, and concentrated nutrients make them the perfect finishing touch — or even the star of the plate.
Sprinkle them over salads for a fresh crunch, layer them into sandwiches and wraps, toss them into smoothies, or use them to garnish soups, omelets, and pastas. With so many textures and flavors — from mild and nutty to bold and spicy — there’s a microgreen for every dish.
Once you start adding them to your meals, you’ll realize the possibilities are endless. That’s why we’ve put together a free Microgreens Recipe Book filled with our favorite easy, delicious ideas to help you get started.

FAQs
How long do microgreens last?
When stored in the fridge, they’ll stay fresh for up to 10-14 days. For the best flavor and nutrition, we recommend enjoying them within the first week.
Can I choose which microgreens I get?
Yes. Chef's Choice subscribers share their preferences once at checkout — varieties they love, avoid, or any allergies. We curate every box around your preferences. Prefer to choose your own varieties? Shop our individual microgreens for one-time purchase.
What if I’m not home on delivery day?
No problem—we’ll coordinate a safe drop-off location and email you before your first delivery to make sure it works for you.
Is there a commitment?
No long-term commitment. Skip or cancel anytime with 48 hours notice — by Wednesday noon for that Friday's delivery. Questions? Contact us at hello@greensproutmicrogreens.com.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver every Friday within a 10-mile radius of Herndon, VA. Your delivery area is confirmed automatically at checkout. If you're outside our current zone, contact us — we're always looking to expand.
Are microgreens safe to eat raw?
Yes! We grow in a clean, controlled environment and handle every step with care so your greens are safe, fresh, and ready to eat straight from the package.
Why does my first delivery take 10-16 days?
Because we grow every order fresh from seed the moment you place it. That growing cycle takes 10-16 days depending on the day you order — which is exactly why your greens arrive at peak nutrition. Nothing has been sitting in a warehouse or on a truck.
How does billing work?
Your first payment is charged today and secures your trays. After your first delivery, we will send a payment request every Wednesday afternoon (after our noon cutoff) for your upcoming Friday delivery — for exactly what was delivered, no surprises, no overcharges.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes — a minimum order of $24 applies to all one-time purchases. This ensures your delivery is worth the trip and covers our grow costs. Chef's Choice subscriptions always meet this minimum automatically. Please feel free to reach out for any special requests!
