For thousands of years, we have relied on the diverse flavors of herbs and greens to add depth and richness to our food.

As one of our five senses, taste serves as a way for us to connect with our food and the world around us. Unfortunately, it often takes much of our time and effort to prepare these herbs to use in our recipes.

Our team at Organic America strive to bring you a solution in the form of our micro-greens.

These tasty organic little gems, including arugula, cilantro, and basil, have all been harvested at the peak of their flavorful perfection. Compacted densely into micro-sized leaves, the depth of flavor in each of these herbs will have your tastebuds pleasantly satisfied. Embodying the vibrant colors and liveliness that we often associate with high quality ingredients, these micro greens offer even more in the taste department and will leave you wonderfully impressed.

Give your chopping board a break, we’ve teamed up with Mother Nature and have done all of the work for you.

We at Organic America are so thankful for the amazing year we’ve had. We are grateful for every single person on our hardworking team, our farm that has produced the wonderful micro salads we have all grown to love, and most importantly, our valued customers and cherished supporters.

Here is to a day of thanks and blessings – we are celebrating well and hope you are doing the same.

Thank you, friends. 🙂

There goes a well-known saying: “The bigger the better” but in our journey striving to perfect the cultivation of our micro greens – it seems that may not always be the case.

According to a recent research study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, micro greens may have even more nutrients than their fully mature counterparts.

The study tested for phytochemical counts in 25 different kinds of micro greens. The results showed that the micro greens had more nutrients than the fully mature version of the same plants.

Micro cilantro boasts tons of beta-carotene, which has shown to neutralize cancer-causing chemicals. Micro cabbage and micro amaranth also contained ample amounts of essential vitamins C, K and E.

This is wonderful information to anyone who wants to get their nutrients but dread eating several cups of vegetables in order to do so. We know most kids fall into this category and micro greens now make it much easier to get your little ones to eat their veggies. Find yourself smiling because of this news? Well, so are we. 🙂

1. We Are 100% Organic – Organic America, as an establishment, do all that we can to stay updated on the latest and greatest technology to ensure that you are getting the best organic products possible. We use sustainable farming strategies, while still embodying the “small farm” persona that made us special to begin with.

2. Eat Small, Live Large – This motto has great meaning to us in our endeavor to provide you with nutritious greens that don’t need to be eaten in large abundance. The beauty of micro greens is that they are densely packed with essential nutrients and require you to eat less to get your daily needed boost.They are easy to incorporate into your every day diet and don’t require too large of a lifestyle change.

3. They Are Surprisingly Flavorful – Whether you are an avid spicy eater in search of a natural “kick” to your meals (to which we suggest our Mustard Mix), or you are a fan of green combinations that zing up ALL of your taste buds (Green Mix, of course), we have all the flavors you are looking for!

4. Perfect for the Young Ones – It is a well accepted fact that most kids are not huge fans of traditional vegetables. We have all been there, 5 years old and being fed large steamed broccoli by our parents – how dreadful! By mixing in micro kale or micro basil to your children’s meals, you are providing them with an amazing boost of essential vitamins A, C, K and beyond. Our micro greens are the perfect solution to the veggie defiant!

5. Colorfully Delightful – One of our favorite things about or micro products is that they come in colors all across the spectrum! From the beautiful, deep red of our micro amaranth to the crisp green of our micro cilantro, to bursting yellow of our popcorn shoots, they are great for garnishing. Sprinkle a few of our micro salads onto your dishes and you are sure to be the next celebrity chef amongst your friends!

LIVE LARGE, EAT SMALL


Micro Greens
Micro greens are edible plants that originate from the seeds of herbs, vegetables and other plants. Unlike sprouts, micro greens deliver a wide range of powerful, developed flavors. The concentrated vitamins, nutrients and proteins packed into these tiny plants make them a perfect addition to any healthy diet. The combination of high nutritional value, beautiful appearance and bold flavors make micro greens nature’s most powerful food.
Herbs
Fresh herbs have long been appreciated for their bold flavor and are an essential part of a chef’s kitchen. For centuries, many cultures have sought out herbs for their medicinal qualities as well. Research is finding more and more that herbs can help promote wellness and ongoing health. Discover what the pros have known for years and add them to every meal!
Sustainability
Protecting the earth is paramount to our farming practices. Organic America uses the most advanced farming practices to avoid soil erosion, water pollution and depletion of our natural resources.
