Harvesting

Harvesting microgreens involves a very simple process. Due to the fact that we want to eliminate as much as possible plastic and other materials that pollute the environment, we have chosen to pack them only in a cardboard box which can be delivered to the final customer. They will be transported alive, exactly in the casseroles in which they were produced. Thus, microgreens should not be cut and packed in sealed casseroles or plastic bags. This simple process favours the fresh storage of the product for a longer time by the final customer.
