How to Store Microgreens (and Make Them Last)

Living trays last weeks. Cut greens last days. Here's the simple system.

If you bought a living tray: place it on your counter or near a sunny window. Add a splash of water every 2–3 days. Cut what you need with kitchen scissors — the tray keeps growing.

If you bought a clamshell of cut microgreens: refrigerate immediately. Don't wash until you're about to eat — moisture is the enemy. Most varieties keep 5–7 days this way.

Whatever you do, avoid sealing wet greens in plastic. That's how good greens turn into compost overnight.
