About: On the Edge Enterprises
Caring for others through kindness, healthy food and community
At On the Edge Enterprises, our mission is simple: “Caring for others through kindness, healthy food, and community.” This commitment shines through in every product we offer, from the meticulous care we take in growing our microgreens to the innovative and delicious ways we incorporate them into snacks, powders, and sauces. Our dedication to quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction is evident in every bite.
Why Microgreens?
Our journey began with organically grown microgreens because we believe that proper nutrition is the cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle. These tiny, nutrient-dense plants are easy to grow and even easier to incorporate into your diet, making them a powerhouse of goodness.
Microgreens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and studies have shown that they can contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts. This means that just a small serving of microgreens can provide a significant portion of your daily nutrient needs. They are particularly rich in vitamins C, E, and K, and offer a good dose of beta-carotene.
In addition to their impressive nutrient profile, microgreens are also high in beneficial plant compounds like polyphenols, which have been linked to lower risks of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. They are also an excellent source of fiber, which is essential for a healthy digestive system.
Our Products
Fresh Microgreens: Our flagship product is our fresh, organically grown microgreens. We offer a wide range of varieties and special blends, grown with care and precision. Delivered on the day of harvest in compostable containers, each tray yields 5-6 ounces of vibrant, tiny veggies. When properly stored, they stay fresh for at least 14 days, making bi-weekly delivery a convenient option for most families.
Another great benefit of microgreens is their versatility. You can sprinkle them on salads, blend them into smoothies, add them to sandwiches, or even use them as a garnish for soups and main dishes. Their vibrant colors and fresh flavors can enhance the visual appeal and taste of any meal, making it easy to eat healthily without compromising on taste.
Microsnacks: Next in our lineup are our delicious microgreen Super Snacks. These raw, dehydrated, plant-based treats are crafted with our organic microgreens and other natural ingredients in addition to being shelf-stable.
Dehydration plays a pivotal role in producing our Microgreen Super Snacks. We dehydrate at low temperatures to ensure vital enzymes and heat-sensitive vitamins remain intact maintaining the maximum health benefits of each ingredient. This process also enhances the natural tastes and sugars of each recipe as well as extending the shelf life of our products naturally, without the need for artificial preservatives.
Our three varieties—Broccoli Apple Walnut, Cabbage Blueberry Banana, and Pea Chipotle Onion—are designed to highlight the health benefits of the microgreens in each recipe and they’re not only a tasty snack but also a quick energy boost that kids love!
Micropowders: We also offer microgreen powders, where our organically grown microgreens are carefully dehydrated at raw temperatures and ground into a convenient powder. This process ensures that all the vital nutrients are preserved, providing you with a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Our microgreen powders are shelf-stable for a year or more, making them a practical addition to your pantry. They are incredibly versatile and can be effortlessly incorporated into your daily meals. Whether you sprinkle them on your morning yogurt, blend them into smoothies, or mix them into soups, these powders enhance the nutritional value of your food without altering the taste. And, each type of microgreen powder offers unique health benefits. For instance, broccoli microgreen powder is rich in sulforaphane, a compound known for its cancer-fighting properties. Radish microgreen powder is high in vitamin C and can help boost your immune system. Pea microgreen powder provides a good source of plant-based protein, perfect for those looking to increase their protein intake.
Using microgreen powders is an easy way to ensure you’re getting a daily dose of powerful nutrients. They are especially beneficial for those with busy lifestyles who may not always have the time to prepare fresh microgreens. Just a small amount added to your meals can make a big difference in your overall health and well-being.
Microblends:
Last but certainly not least, we present our selection of microgreen-infused, gluten and dairy-free blends. Why? Because we loved our creations so much that we just had to share them with you! These blends are not just condiments; they are a delightful combination of health and flavor, designed to elevate any dish. Each bottle is a testament to our dedication to quality, health, and flavor.
Our microgreen-infused blends are made using our dehydrated organically grown microgreens, ensuring that every spoonful is packed with essential nutrients.
