Microgreens have exploded in popularity—but not all are grown equally. As demand has surged, many small producers have entered the market, often without standardized safety protocols or formal oversight. That’s a risk when you’re consuming vegtable products

At Lake Forest Farms, our farms are SQF (Safe Quality Food) / GAP+ (Good Agricultural Practices Plus) Certified - two of the most rigorous food safety and quality certifications available. These third-party programs require ongoing audits, strict sanitation protocols, full traceability, and documented best practices from seed to harvest.

These certifications aren't just labels - they're your assurance that every microgreen in our product was grown under controlled, hygienic, and transparently monitored conditions. When it comes to greens, we believe that’s non-negotiable.

Yes. Microgreens naturally carry 4 to 150 times the nutrient density of full‑grown vegetables, and our proprietary Cold Raw Freeze‑Dry™ process gently concentrates that nutrition even further. Independent USDA and University lab tests confirm that a single 1/8 teaspoon (0.4g) provides roughly the same nutritional payload as one and a half servings of fresh produce.

With a serving size of only 1/8 teaspoon, when added to most food or beverages the flavor is undetectable. When consumed directly or in plain water, it has a mild, fresh green note.

We grow every crop in living organic soil, hydrate only with water, and never use pesticides under any circumstances. Each batch is third‑party tested for pathogens, heavy metals, and mycotoxins. The powder contains only microgreens, making it vegan, keto‑friendly, gluten‑free, dairy‑free, soy‑free, and non‑GMO. As with any food product, people who are pregnant, nursing, or under medical care should always consult their healthcare provider.

We are not formally certified, but our process exceeds organic standards. The greens are grown in organic soil, never encounter pesticides, and are subjected to rigorous third‑party testing. By never - under any circumstances - using pesticides or biological agents, combined with our testing, processing, and packaging, we far exceed organic standards.

An unopened jar remains potent for at least eighteen months. After opening, the oversized food‑grade desiccant keeps moisture at bay for about ninety days, provided you reseal the lid promptly and store the jar in a cool, dark place.

Glass creates a far better light, oxygen, and moisture barrier, never leaches plastic residues, preserves delicate phytonutrients longer, and is endlessly recyclable. Although it costs much more to supply & ship, it guarantees a purer product on your shelf. Our goal has always been to provide the most pure products possible, without compromise.

Simply stir a 1/8 teaspoon scoop into anything you already enjoy—smoothies, coffee, juice, oatmeal, yogurt, soups, salad dressings, pasta sauce, hummus, pancake batter, or even brownie mix. Because the serving size is so small and the taste is so mild, it opens up virtually limitless culinary possibilities beyond the salads, sandwiches, and smoothies to which fresh microgreens are usually confined.

Only limited varieties of microgreens are available locally to consumers. We provide access to 20 hard to impossible-to-find microgreen varieties - so you can benefit from the full range of nutrients that microgreens provide. Also, fresh micro greens have an extremely short shelflife, and those found in stores are half-spoiled before you even buy them -- and will certainly spoil within days of being in your refrigerator. Our microgreens are processed within 24-hours of harvesting at their absolute peak nutrition and condition, with a shelf life of 18 months unopened or 90 days once opened. Finally, our tiny 1/8 teaspon serving size unlocks almost infinite use cases for these amazing greens which go far beyond how and where you can use typical microgreens - enabling you to add micro greens to almost any food or beverage.

Every microgreen in MiracleMicrogreens begins with a handful of trusted local growers who cultivate exclusively for us - often just minutes from our facility. We specify the seed, verify the soil mix, set the harvest window, and define all standards. Once harvested, the microgreens travel straight to our facility within 24-hours, are immediately processed the same day, and are bottled under our roof by our trusted Lake Forest Farms staff. Because the entire chain is short, local, and under our direct supervision, we can guarantee purity and potency from seed to scoop.

Yes! We love to keep things simple. If you are unsatisfied for any reason: Unopened jars may be returned for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Opened jars, if they are a first-time order, may be returned for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. We just want you to be happy - and honestly - if there is ANY issue, we will figure something out.

Orders leave our Chicago facility within one business day. You will also notice that our shipment packaging is decidedly simple. We have rejected the trend of elaborate boxes for fancy unboxing videos, which we feel are negligently wasteful, and we hope you feel the same way too.
