Once you’ve purchased your microgreens, you won’t need all of them at once. Remember, microgreens are so nutrient-dense, even a sprinkle in your dishes or as a garnish will already reward you with a whole host of benefits.

1. Store them properly in the fridge. Placing your microgreens in your vegetable crisper right away after harvest will prolong their shelf-life and keep away mold.

2. This will keep most of your microgreens in good shape for 14-21 days after cutting them, though their nutrient level will slowly decline each day. Popple Hill microgreens are cut right before they are delivered so they are cut less than 24 hours before you receive them.

3. Microgreens can be kept in the refrigerator if properly stored in an airtight container, preferably in the coolest part of the fridge. You can also sandwich them in between two dry paper towels to absorb moisture. Change these every 2-3 days.

4. When ready to use, dunk the microgreens in cool water and spread them out on paper towels in a single layer; consider using a colander. Your microgreens are ready to eat after they have been washed and dried.
