Horrible!!
I bought some of these greens from a local grocer in the Concord area and was so disappointed. I found a SPIDER in one of the containers and the red choi and pea shoots that I purchased were bitter and wilting even though their expiry date was 5 days away. If you want fresh local greens stay away from Greenbelt its over priced and doesn't deliver. YUCK!

Dear OrganicManic, We are sorry to hear that you had a less-than-pleasurable experience with our products. At Greenbelt Greenhouse, we take great care of our products and we pride ourselves in growing a wide variety of organic Microgreens. In accordance with the standards set out by programs such as Canada GAP and ECOCERT Canada, we have an extensive and thorough quality-control program we implement every day. This program helps us to ensure each customer has the opportunity to purchase only the highest-quality products we grow without using any harmful insecticides, pesticides, or herbicides. Our freshly picked salads and Microgreens are locally grown to support our community, which always provides reliable freshness. Our Microgreens are packed in clear containers allowing you to see the quality, while locking-in freshness and preventing bruising or breaking. From seeding all the way through to packaging, our dedicated staff is conscientious that only the finest produce is selected and shipped fresh to local grocery stores in the GTA. The standard shelf-life without using any conventional longevity-enhancing chemicals or processes is approximately twelve days. The display conditions and climate-control capabilities from our retail partners and customers help maintain the shelf-life. Perhaps you’d like to try our renowned Spicy Mix – it’s a fantastic blend of Ruby Streaks Mustard Greens, Arugula and Radish, which offers a nice kick without the typical bitter taste of Red Choi! Or feel free to try our delicious Sweet & Crunchy Mix – the mellow taste of sunflower and buckwheat is highlighted by the spicy daikon radish, and succulently-sweet young pea shoots. You can find these yummy Microgreen combinations throughout the Concord area. Check out these local distributors near you: Ambrosia Natural Foods (Thornhill), Oakridges Food Market (Thornhill), and Noah’s Natural Food (Vaughan).
