Microgreens are seedlings harvested at the cotyledon stage — the point at which the plant has converted all its seed energy into the first leaves. Studies report 4× to 40× the vitamin, mineral, and polyphenol density of the same plant harvested at maturity. That is not marketing — it is biology.
Microgreens concentrate every nutrient the seed invested in the seedling — vitamins C, E, K, and beta-carotene, alongside a dense profile of antioxidants and polyphenols — into a fraction of the plant's full size. The result is a product with exceptional nutritional leverage per ounce.
Most varieties are ready in under two weeks. Arugula and radish peak at 8–10 days. Broccoli and kale at 10–12. Basil and cilantro develop deeper flavor over 20–25 days. Every tray is harvested at its ideal window — not the shipping window.
Grown indoors in a controlled enclosure, our microgreens never encounter pests, agrochemicals, or unpredictable weather. Each tray is traceable to a germination batch and a grow zone. Consistent, safe, and clean — every cycle.
The BG1 is a professional-grade vertical growing rack built for high-density microgreen production. Bosch aluminum structure, integrated PLC control, flood irrigation, and full-spectrum LED lighting — producing up to 1,800 trays per month in a compact, space-efficient footprint that scales with demand.
Each BG1 unit holds multiple growing tiers with flood-cycle irrigation, full-spectrum LED lighting calibrated for optimal PPF output, and precision airflow management. Up to four units can be networked into a single automated growing environment controlled by one integrated PLC.
Growing trays sit on food-safe ABS/PVC surfaces measuring 1.1 m² each. The system operates continuously at 20–25 °C (68–77 °F), consuming just 1.2 kW and 4 liters of water per day — making it one of the most resource-efficient formats in controlled-environment agriculture.
From the sharp bite of arugula to the earthy sweetness of beet, our catalogue covers the full spectrum of chef-grade microgreens. Core varieties run year-round on continuous rotation. Specialty and seasonal cultivars are available by standing order.
Crisp, spicy, and fast. Vivid pink-purple stems with a sharp bite — a workhorse for tacos, sandwiches, and raw-bar plating. One of the easiest and most reliable varieties to grow, ready in under 10 days.
Earthy, slightly sweet, visually dramatic. Deep red stems contrast with green leaves — an instant visual upgrade for any plate and a natural source of nitrates and betanin. Harvest close to the root for maximum color impact.
Mild, earthy, and visually striking. Deep magenta stems with rich color make it a standout garnish on any plated dish or microgreen mix. Delicate in texture, intense in appearance. Prefers warm growing conditions.
Peppery, sharp, finish-strong. Grows best in indirect light — flavor intensifies when harvested young. The backbone of any microgreen salad and the default finishing green for pizza, pasta, and tasting plates.
Onion-forward, crisp, and elegant. Grows tall and slender, adding both flavor and visual height to any dish. A sophisticated garnish for eggs, soups, tartare, and fine dining plating. Slow to germinate, worth the wait.
Sweet, tender, and full-bodied. Sautéed, raw, or as a finishing green — a staple in tasting menus and high-end produce programs. The flavor of spring peas concentrated into a small, elegant shoot.

Microgreens are available in two formats: chef trays — live in food-safe containers, harvested to order and delivered to your kitchen — and retail clamshells — cut, weighed, and cold-chained for grocery and specialty retail shelves.
Weekly and biweekly standing routes across South Carolina and the Southeast. Recurring contracts welcome. Sample packs available for qualifying kitchens and buyers within 72 hours of contact.
Each cultivar in our catalogue follows a defined growing protocol: seeding rate, germination window, blackout period, and ideal harvest day. The BG1 system holds every variable constant so the only thing that changes is the biology of the plant itself.
Every tray spends its first 2–7 days in darkness — stacked or covered — to simulate natural soil pressure and promote strong, uniform root establishment. Only after the blackout period do we expose trays to full-spectrum light for the remaining grow cycle.
We harvest at the cotyledon stage — before true leaves appear. This is the window of maximum nutritional concentration and peak flavor. Letting most varieties grow past this stage results in a dramatic shift in texture, bitterness, and nutritional profile.
The BG1 uses flood-and-drain irrigation rather than overhead sprinklers. Water is introduced at the tray base, absorbed by capillary action, then drained — keeping foliage dry, reducing disease pressure, and delivering consistent hydration to every root zone.
Temperature is held between 68 and 77 °F. Humidity, CO₂, and airflow are continuously monitored by the integrated PLC. No field conditions, no seasonal variance, no weather risk — just optimized parameters running every hour of every grow day.
Microgreens are the shortest distance between a seed and a plate.
