Alfalfa Sprouting Microgreens

Alfalfa Sprouting Microgreens are cut fresh at our Lineville, Alabama farm and packed live for maximum flavor and nutrient density. Microgreens deliver concentrated flavor and nutrients in a tiny leaf - perfect for salads, sandwiches, bowls, and garnish. Available in 2 oz and 4 oz clamshells, cut fresh to order.

• Grown in: Lineville, Alabama (no synthetic pesticides)
• Freshness: Harvested at peak and sold fresh
• Availability: Seasonal - local Alabama delivery & pickup
• Storage: Refrigerate and enjoy fresh
• Why it's good: Nutrient-dense and picked at peak freshness

• Storage: In the sealed clamshell in the coldest part of the fridge, 34-40°F
• Shelf life: 3 to 5 days - one of the shortest-lived greens on the bench
• Washing: Rinse and spin dry right before serving, never before storing. Alfalfa holds more water than any other green here and wet leaves turn to slime in a day.
• Using: Pile it on cold - sandwiches, wraps, grain bowls, on top of a burger after it comes off the heat. It has no structure and collapses instantly in a hot pan.

How is this different from alfalfa sprouts?
Sprouts are the whole germinated seed, grown in water in the dark and eaten root and all. These are grown in soil in the light and cut above the root, so you get green cotyledons and stem with no seed hull or root attached. Cleaner flavour and none of the sprout-jar handling.

Why does it go off so fast?
Fine stems, huge surface area, and very high water content. There is almost no plant tissue to buffer moisture loss, so alfalfa wilts and then breaks down faster than a thick-stemmed green like pea or sunflower.

What does it taste like?
Mild, green and faintly sweet - closer to raw young pea than to anything peppery. It is the one to reach for when you want texture and volume without adding a flavour.

Is it local?
Yes. Grown and cut in Lineville, Alabama and sold through local delivery, farm pickup and our farmers-market stand.
