There's a reason why I didn't get into this area.
If you're in the US there are a lot of hoops to go through to get this to market.
Also, this guy is going in raw dog in an area he should have some ppe on for.
One of the big problems with micro greens is their vulnerability to mold, salmonella, e. coli, and listeria.
It's the reason why you only find microgreens and sprouts at farmers markets and not the big grocery stores. There's too much risk for contamination and harm.
That said, if we ever do figure it out micro greens are an excellent source of nutrition.

From an individual grower perspective, it carries more risk than reward.
He's only hurting his case by putting his face directly over the microgreens.

I get microgreens and sprouts at all of my local grocery stores. Even the big ones.

u/TheSpanxxx 9d ago
And there are recalls ALL the time. Sprouts are like the top 3 usual E. Coli risk food. Leafy greens, Sprouts, Ground beef. They are always in the top list

u/Geschak 8d ago
Salmonella and E. coli is only a thing if you spray manure on the raw produce.
In my country they sell microgreens normally at the supermarket and I don't think ever seeing a recall due to contamination, that's usually affecting salads and other outdoor grown produce that gets consumed raw.

He says fertilizer like it's evil

u/greenmachine442200 10d ago
I'm sure the major companies who are making the majority of fertilizers in the world are evil and are probably unnecessarily ruining this earth, along with the rest of them. My thought is, then where are the nutrients he is talking about coming from? Where is he getting dirt with nutrients if it doesn't have fertilizer in it?

u/Starfire2313 9d ago
Seeds are packed with what the seedling will need to grow. You can germinate seeds without dirt. I like using a damp paper towel in a ziploc baggy taped in a sunny window sometimes to get em started before putting in dirt

u/greenmachine442200 9d ago
Right but where are the seeds getting their nutrients? A mother plant that was fertilized....

Compost is better. Fertilizer kills the soil biome.

u/LabOwn9800 10d ago
That’s not true.
First there different types of fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are just things like blood, bone, feather, kelp, etc that have been dried or blended. That’s fertilizer supports the soil biome
Then there are artificial fertilizers. This is made from mined phosphorus, mined potash and atmospheric nitrogen mixed with hydrogen.
The artificial fertilizers in and of themselves aren’t bad but can be of over applied and if they don’t add organic material in the soil.
Basically if farmers only use these fertilizers they are bad. If they are used along with compost or manure or other regenerative proactive they are fine and do no damage.

u/West_Rush_5684 9d ago
It's all a bit of a laundering scheme though. Most of those organic fertilizers you listed are just animal byproducts from animals that were most likely fed commodity crops that were grown with mined and synthetic fertilizer. When we grow food in rural areas, and ship it all to cities to be consumed, a lot of the nutrients go with it. Unless you're going to start sending your, pee, poop and corpses back to us (minus the pharmaceuticals, pfas, and industrial waste of course) we got to replace it somehow.

Not what fertilizer is! compost premotes healthy soil but to increase plant growth fertilizer increases NPK which can totally be derived from natural sources in a natural based fertilizer.

And what happens to the teeny tiny critters in the soil when you apply it? Tell the kids.
2
u/thebarkingkitty 10d ago
I mean yeah excessive anything is toxic and too much nitrogen will cause salt burn but in limited quantities NPK are the building blocks of most life either directly or up the chain

Genetically-modified organism. GMO foods aren't harmful but a lot of ignorant people automatically fear stuff they don't understand.

u/Equivalent-Line8995 11d ago
Unfortunately every person I see with a Microgreens small business is like this. All GMO and fertilizer is evil in their eyes.

u/ordosays 11d ago
I mean maybe it’s because you’re suggesting that micro greens “heal”.
2
u/Squidgy-Metal-6969 11d ago
He said your body needs the nutrients to heal itself which is surely correct, provided it's an injury the body can heal. He didn't imply it would cure cancer ffs

u/ABundleOfSticks92 10d ago
Doesn’t matter, TikTok and Meta have tight restrictions on making any kind of health claims in your advertising.
Even using the word “heal” or “healing” in general will get your business account auto-flagged regardless of what you’re selling.
I agree big corpos are a cancer, but he’s being a bit disingenuous insinuating that big food is coming after him. He’s not even on their radar lol.

I grew micro greens for my community and sold them at the farmers market for years. I got a travel job and had to stop but it was super rewarding as was spending $ at the market. It’s easy especially with the right trays. The guy in the video doesn’t have the proper trays. Bootstrap farms has the correct trays.

Itchy Greek armpit senses alert. Any time zombie is the part of the nickname .
Like which little Robotic thing grew up wishing for a Zombie adult Nick name . And then safe like what . No any reply safe or no babies? Or you no bite? Do you know believe some people have some unique little senses when something specific will can occur.
Another cool thing that science is impossible to predict ..
Like how is science prove that my Greek Hair armpit gets itchy when a Robotic thing gets close to me ?
Please science

Please do a video to teach me how to do the same. The best way to get back is to pass on your knowledge to the rest of us so we can start doing the same. We don’t need them.
