cotyledon

My name is Sarah Arndt and I am an urban farmer who founded cot.y.le.don and I grow non-gmo and organic microgreens. I follow strict food safety standards and I followAGAPAas well asAOrganicAcertification protocols. I grow many organic microgreens such as: broccoli, radish, a salad mix, and a spicy salad mix. Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are not sprouts or shoots. Microgreens are harvested typically between days 7-14 once the cotyledon leaves have developed and just right before the crop has grown its set of true leaves. Microgreens are produced from various seeds of vegetables, herbs, and other plants that have edible greens. A researcher Qin Wang, PhD, is an assistant professor at the University of Maryland and he says, aMicrogreens have four to 40-fold more concentrated nutrients than their mature plant.a
