We grow our MicroGreens right here in Dublin & even harvest and deliver them ourselves! We are a passionate, dedicated four-man team born and raised in Dublin. We have been growing real food for over 20 years combined in Dublin City University. We grow MicroGreens because we are convinced that they are the real deal.

One word... QUALITY! How they were grown and how old they are is everything.
​
​Don't waste your time & money. Supermarket microgreens are generally grown hydroponically, they can be old, wet, slimy and expensive for what you get and they generally don't last long or taste very good due to their age. You also don't usually know who has grown them.(yes it matters)
​​
​However! We do currently supply some stores and if you see our logo, you know you'll get great microgreens. Buying direct will always give you higher quality & with this limited offer a better price!

Sure! But remember that NO commercial processing of fruit & vegetables will give you what nature gives you, the way nature gives it to you. Microgreens are a natural, holistic form of nutrition for the complicated system that is your body. There is always something lost during processing, ALWAYS! Plus, no supplement or juice on the market contains what nature contains! A lot of supplements and juices are just garbage anyway! Keep it SIMPLE, HONEST, FRESH & LOCAL. There are some good supplements out there but they can be very expensive, just go for the direct source when you have the chance.

Probably not... You would have to eat ALOT more to gain the benefits that MicroGreens give you so easily. The quality of fresh fruit and vegetables is not what it used to be, and trying to eat that much might make you feel abit sickly. Save yourself the trouble and just have a simple nutraceutical salad or add it to your favourite juice, smoothie, wrap or sandwich!

MicroGreens are vegetables, so yes, they could, but they are more of a powerful natural therapeutic addition to your diet. They can count towards your 5 a day which is only based on the weight of what you eat, not the quality of what you eat. Listen to your body, everyone is different and has different preferences.

No it's not possible to overdose on microgreens. You would need to eat KILOS of them everyday to see any downsides.

Many studies have scientifically proven that compost-grown microgreens produce the highest-quality products with regards to vitamins, minerals, and nutraceuticals.
​
​They are also very tender crops so they lose their potency and flavour pretty quick. How they are grown, handled and delivered is everything! That is why we only grow to order, just for you, and deliver direct.
​
​Science recognises the power of MicroGreens and their potential beneficial impact on human health, the hard part is getting quality ones to you, which we do!

Nope! Sprouts are about 1–3 days old and are grown in water, so they can contain harmful bacteria that can make you sick! They're not suitable for pregnant women and can have higher levels of anti-nutrients.
​
​Microgreens have been shown to possess the same or more levels of nutraceuticals but they taste so much better, last longer and are not a risk. Microgreens are suitable for pregnant women as they are grown in soil, not water.
​
​Microgreens have been shown to possess more health benefits than sprouts and can be treated like a simple raw salad! Sprouts are in a higher risk category than MicroGreens... Microgreens even outcompete baby leaves!

Honestly, they are so new to the Irish market! Most people don't know how beneficial they can be, and alot of companies only produce them for the restaurant industry, which doesn't need the same TLC in growing methods or delivery.
​
​The Gnomes are absolutely committed to producing the highest quality microgreens directly for the home customer! We've actually read the studies!

You should! But if you don't have the time, space, money or experience to get started it can be a costly venture!

You are what you eat! You make your habits, then your habits make or break you.
​
​Microgreens are probably the easiest way to add a boatload of vitamins, minerals, anti-cancer, free-radicals scavenging, neuroprotective nootropics into your daily diet WITHOUT any disruptions to your lifestyle. Artificial supplements and processed juices simply can't compete with the real deal.

Food is medicine when it's free from interference. Microgreens are a potent form of natural plant food medicine with tremendous potential to combat the oxidative stress from our "modern" way of living.
​
​You probably won't hear on the news that the food systems isn't supporting your health and that 99% of the food on the market is a cheap imitation of what it used to be. Support yourself and your family with real food.

Nothing is more important than your health. What you eat will directly influence your gut health, which directly influences your brain health, which influences how you feel and think, which influences the type of life that you live.

Putting your health first and raising your standards will begin to shift things you can't imagine right now. You really are what you eat. Eat high energy foods, it's never too late to start looking after yourself at the cellular level.

Please email us if you have any specific requirements.
