Dosage and Intake Guide
How Much Should I Eat? A Practical Guide to Daily Intake.
After trying microgreens for the first time, most people have one question — how much, and how often.
Consistency Over Quantity
The plant compounds in microgreens — particularly the signaling compounds unique to cruciferous vegetables — work through repeated daily exposure, not through occasional large doses. The biological systems they support build like a fitness adaptation. Regular small amounts over time produce stronger and more sustained results than sporadic large servings.
Finding Your Daily Amount
What matters most is including them in your diet daily.
How to Think About Your Weekly Box
Each membership tier is calibrated to a specific daily intake range. Here's how they map:
| Tier | Weekly amount | Daily serving | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casual | 8oz / week | ~1oz per day | Foundational daily exposure — the right starting point |
| Optimal ⭐ | 12oz / week | ~1.5–2oz per day | Most consistently supported intake range — recommended for most people |
| Peak | 18oz / week | ~2–2.5oz per day | Maximum consistent support across all biological pathways |
| Family | 26oz / week | Household serving | Households sharing a weekly box, or highest daily intake at best value per ounce |
Building the Daily Habit
The simplest approach is to attach microgreens to one meal you tend to eat every day. Lunch works well for most people because it happens regardless of how the morning went. Once that becomes automatic, adding a second serving is easy.
On Variety
Different microgreens activate different biological pathways — broccoli for Nrf2 and sulforaphane, radish and mustard for complementary isothiocyanates, sunflower for vitamin E, amaranth for spermidine, salad mix for broad polyphenol and flavonoid coverage. Eating a mix daily covers more biological ground than eating one variety exclusively.
The curated membership box is built specifically around this principle — every variety is chosen for health benefit density, compound diversity, and the synergistic effects they produce together.
The Bottom Line
Eat one to two ounces of fresh microgreens every day. Eat them raw. Attach them to one meal you tend to eat daily until it becomes automatic. Everything else is optimization.
