At Penn Grows, we’re passionate about harnessing the power of microgreens to bring both flavor and nutrition to your table. Recently, an insightful blog post titled “Microgreens: Small But Mighty” on Plasma Futures highlighted the incredible health benefits of these tiny but powerful plants. We couldn’t agree more and wanted to share how Penn Grows fits into this exciting movement.
The Roots of Penn Grows
Our journey began with a simple yet profound mission: to use the power of nature to improve health and well-being. In the basement of our home, we started cultivating broccoli microgreens as a natural therapy for our dog diagnosed with a mast cell tumor. Thanks to the high concentration of sulforaphane—a compound found in these microgreens known for its cancer-preventive properties—our dog not only survived but thrived well beyond the typical prognosis. This experience ignited our passion for microgreens, leading to the creation of Penn Grows.
Why Microgreens Matter
Microgreens are more than just a trendy garnish. As detailed in the Plasma Futures post, they contain up to 40 times the nutrients of their mature counterparts. Rich in essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals, they offer substantial health benefits, from boosting your immune system to reducing the risk of chronic diseases. At Penn Grows, we’re proud to bring these nutrient-dense powerhouses to our local community.
Building Connections with Our Community
We believe in the importance of connecting with our community, which is why we bring our fresh microgreens to local farmers markets. This direct interaction not only allows us to provide the freshest produce but also fosters relationships with our customers, offering them personalized service and education on the benefits of microgreens. We also collaborate with local chefs to enhance their culinary creations, providing vibrant, flavorful, and health-boosting microgreens that elevate every dish.
Looking to the Future
As the demand for nutritious, sustainable food options grows, so does our commitment to expanding our offerings. We’re excited to introduce our Microglams beauty line and Beardie Greens pet line, both of which incorporate the incredible benefits of microgreens into skincare and pet care products. Our goal is to continue leading the way in urban agriculture, providing high-quality, eco-friendly products that support healthier lifestyles.

Plasma Futures recognized the potential of microgreens in revolutionizing agriculture and promoting health.
