5-Day Microgreens Challenge FAQ
—
1. Why would I want to use microgreens in my food for 5 days in a row?
Microgreens obtained from NKBJ Microgreens — or our list of authorized vendors — are fresh, delicious, and healthy.
Besides their great taste, vibrant color, and marvelous texture, they are nutrient dense!
Depending on the microgreens, they contain 4-to-40 times as many nutrients as their mature counterparts.

2. Do I have to make the same kind of food (like salads) every day for 5 days in a row?
No! You can always mix and match with something different every day!

There are an unlimited number of ways to use microgreens, including in or with these types of food:
