Vertically Farmed Produce Shelf Life Experiment: Leaving Growcer produce in your fridge for a MONTH?

Nipissing First Natin’s Mnogin Greenhouse grows a variety of the highest quality fresh greens for the community, nearby restaurants, and retailers.

Shelf Life Experiment For Vertically Farmed Lettuce

One thing we hear a lot from customers of Growcer-grown produce is how loooong the shelf life is.

You no longer have to settle for wilting produce on store shelves, because Growcer produce is usually grown close to where it's consumed so it can be eaten at peak freshness.

And last longer in your fridge.

R&D Investigates 🔍

We love all the compliments on our shelf life (please keep them coming), but our data-driven R&D team wanted to conduct a fun shelf life experiment to see how we stack up against imported produce at the store.

So . . .

• Over the course of a month (34 days to be exact),

• R&D compared Growcer-grown Green Star lettuce

• and store-bought green leaf lettuce.

• The lettuces were stored the same,

• packaged the same,

• and photographed at the same time.

The result? Well you can see for yourself ⬇️

While you probably won't wait a month before digging into your groceries, your Growcer-grown produce gives you 2 weeks of time to think of a perfect recipe before any wilting starts. The longer shelf life is one of the benefits of local, hydroponically grown lettuce.

Put simply, a longer shelf life helps you:

• Reduce food waste

• Eat healthier

• Stress less about making your schedule fit your fridge
