Includes: 2x 225g (8oz) microgreens + 1 wheatgrass
For home juicing enthusiasts and smoothie lovers!
Try as we might, sometimes we have extra microgreens - and what better way to use them up than by juicing them or adding them to a smoothie. These greens are intended to be used as you would wheatgrass - as a quick shot of green juice goodness or added in small quantities to your existing juice blends (read: they have a strong flavour!).
This package comes with a whole POUND of mixed greens (the type will vary week to week and may include: sun shoots, pea shoots and/or milder microgreens. Don’t worry: we won’t send anything spicy!) and a container of living wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass tips: simply cut the wheatgrass with scissors or a sharp knife immediately before juicing. Wheatgrass will continue to grow for at least one more cutting if you keep it watered and at room temperature. Going out of town? No problem - pop the entire wheatgrass container in the fridge to slow growth. Wheatgrass is also safe to give to pets as a tasty green snack.
A note on sunflower hulls: most juicers will be able to juice sunflower shoots with the hulls included no problem, but if you’re using these for smoothies, be sure to pull them out first.
