Our grower, Doug, has really become an expert in his field when it comes to Microherbs. He tends to the product everyday of the week with the care, love and attention they deserve. The whole growing process varies slightly between varieties but it generally takes 7-10 days from sowing to propagation and growth.

It is these early leaves which give you maximum health benefits with each Micro Herb containing 40-50 times more vitamin and mineral content per gram compared to their fully grown counterpart. Everything is now grown under Grow Lamps in a controlled environment meaning we can grow all year around, at the same time maintaining the high standard and quality GRObros demands.

Why Microherbs?

 

What are Microherbs & Why should I be eating them ?

Microherbs are the seedlings of vegetables and herbs, harvested at 1-2 weeks, specifically greens that have been harvested after the cotyledon leaves have developed. These greens are increasing in popularity because they are packed full of nutrients and studies are showing have many more health benefits than their mature fully-grown counterparts.

So why are they so healthy and what benefits can we get?

Microherbs Fight disease and keep your Gut happy.

Microherbs contain condensed amounts of nutritional vitamins, that when added to our diet works to balance the body and keep the gut healthy. Studies have shown Pea-shoots, Broccoli sprouts, Radish Sprouts and sunflower sprouts all contain high levels of antioxidants. One cup of pea shoots provides about 35% the daily value of vitamin C (7 times as much as blueberries) and 15% the daily value of vitamin A (4 times as much as tomatoes). Pea shoots have an outstanding nutrient to calorie ratio and offer a good amount of dietary fibre, which helps regulate the metabolism.
