How Long Do Microgreens Stay Fresh?
If you’ve ever brought home microgreens from the grocery store only to find them wilted a few days later, you’re not alone. One of the most common frustrations people have with microgreens is their short shelf life. But here's the good news: not all microgreens are created (or delivered) equally.
At EdenGreen, our microgreens are harvested within 24 hours of delivery, ensuring optimal freshness and a much longer shelf life than what you’ll typically find at a store.
The Typical Shelf Life of Store-Bought Microgreens
Most store-bought microgreens have already spent several days in transit—harvested, packaged, shipped (often across the country), and stocked on store shelves before they ever reach your fridge. By then, they may have just a few days of life left, if that.
Why EdenGreen Microgreens Last Longer
Our microgreens don’t sit on shelves. They come directly from our local farm to your doorstep, typically within 24 hours of harvest. This ultra-fresh approach means our greens arrive crisp, vibrant, and nutrient-rich.
With proper storage, EdenGreen microgreens stay fresh for 10 to 14 days, and some customers report they last even longer! Here's why:
- 🌱 No transit delays
- 🧊 Delivered cold & fresh
- 📦 Packed in breathable, compostable containers
- 🕒 You receive them at the start of their usable life—not the end
How to Store Microgreens for Maximum Freshness
To get the most from your greens:
- Keep them refrigerated in their original container
- Avoid excess moisture—don’t wash until you're ready to eat
- Store them away from strong-smelling foods (they absorb odors easily)
Bottom Line: Fresher Greens = Longer Shelf Life
When you order from EdenGreen, you’re getting microgreens that are at their peak, not on their way out. That means more time to enjoy them, less waste, and more value for your money.
