1. Refrigeration:
   Store your packaged microgreens in the refrigerator in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crispness.

2. Ready to Eat:
   Microgreens ready to eat straight from the package. However, if you prefer, you can give them a light rinse and dry fully before using. For optimal taste and nutrition, consume them within 7 to 14 days.

• Sprouts: The earliest stage of a plant's growth. Sprouts are germinated seeds grown without soil, typically in water. They are eaten whole—seed, root, stem, and initial leaves—soon after germination.

• Microgreens: The next stage after sprouts. Grown in soil or a growing medium, microgreens are harvested when the first true leaves appear. Only the stem and leaves are consumed. They offer intense flavor and high nutritional content.

• Baby Greens: More mature than microgreens, baby greens are harvested after the true leaves have developed but while the plant is still young. They have flavors closer to adult plants and have absorbed more nutrients from the soil.
