Their main focus these days is to create awareness about the health benefits that these tiny leaves pack. Just before 2019 kicks off - 2BFresh will be launching a new label which is all about health.

Dr. Chissick: "Studies have found that at about 7-20 days after germination, microgreens have the highest content of vitamins and minerals to weight… Microgreens are not just a beautiful garnish for a dish in a chefs gourmet restaurant.
