Ken Kimes & Sandra Ward, New Natives, Microgreens
It is really simple: Sow some uncontaminated seeds in organic soil. Add clean water, fresh air and sunshine. Then enjoy eating the maximum nutrition of microgreens. This leads us to ask:
If it really is this simple, why doesn’t everybody eat microgreens?
It seems as though we are running out of food. That is not to say that we are running out of things to eat. No! On the contrary, there are many things to eat, and they are cheap, too!
And yet, so many of those things we are being offered in brightly colored packages for so little money have very little food in them. In fact, one of the ways they make food cheap is to take the food out of it and put it in a fancy package.
And so we eat the cheap food because its cheap and easy. And yet when we do our bodies cry out for more nutrition. So we eat more cheap food and yet our bodies still cry out for more, nutrition. So we eat more cheap food, and our bodies rebel by storing up fat, and breaking down.
Then one day we wake up to the fact that cheap food isn’t! What to do?
One thing to do is to turn to the essential simplicity of the maximum nutrition we can get from microgreens.
How simple? Sow some uncontaminated seeds in organic soil. Add clean water, fresh air and sunshine. Then harvest the sprouted seeds and enjoy eating the maximum nutrition of microgreens.
