Harvesting Microgreens is a Very Simple Process
If you are going to use the microgreens straight away, then I would recommend using a pair of stainless steel scissors.
It is easier, quicker, and safer.
That is also the best way to maximize the nutrition available in these nutrient dense power-packed plants.
For longer storage, scissors leave a jagged cut creating more surface area across the stem which will oxidize quick and reduce how long the microgreens will store.
A very sharp knife works best if you plan on storing your microgreens in the refrigerator longer than a couple of day.
I recommend a harvest knife as the thin sharp blade makes a very clean cut and it is easy to keep razor sharp.

How to Store Microgreens to Maximize Shelf Life
Not only do I use the Lock n Lock containers for storing harvested microgreens, I use them to store my unused microgreens seeds too.
These containers seal tight, won’t open accidentally, and are stackable.
The containers come in many sizes and shapes and are handy in the kitchen too. so sometimes it’s best to go their storefront and see all of the options to fit your specific needs.
