Microgreens Seeds

Embrace the power of microgreens and discover a world of culinary and health benefits right in your own home. Microgreens are the tiny, but mighty, seedlings of various vegetables, herbs, and flowers harvested just after germination. Unlike traditional sprouts, microgreens boast true leaves packed with a concentrated dose of nutrients. Growing our non-GMO, heirloom, microgreen seeds is not only simple and rewarding, but it also offers numerous advantages that make them a worthwhile addition to any kitchen or home garden.

Easy to Grow

One of the most appealing aspects of microgreens is their ease of cultivation. Unlike full-grown vegetables, microgreens thrive in small spaces and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for urban dwellers and those with limited outdoor space. A simple container garden on a sunny windowsill is all you need to cultivate a steady supply of these nutrient-rich greens. Furthermore, microgreens have a fast turnaround time, typically ready for harvest within 7 to 14 days after planting, providing you with a quick and consistent source of fresh greens throughout the year.

Nutritional Powerhouse

Beyond their convenience, microgreens pack a powerful nutritional punch. Studies suggest that they can contain up to 40 times more vitamins and minerals compared to their mature counterparts. This concentrated dose of nutrients makes them a valuable addition to any diet, offering a natural way to boost your intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Additionally, microgreens come in a wide variety of flavors and textures, adding a unique and exciting element to your culinary creations. From adding a peppery kick to sandwiches to enhancing salads with a burst of flavor, microgreens offer endless possibilities for elevating your home cooking adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
