Still growing. Until dinner.
Living Nutrition starts with a simple idea: keep the plant growing until you want to eat it. Open Luya, cut what your meal needs, and leave the rest for another plate.
Growing until you are ready to eat.
With a tray growing at home, harvesting can become part of preparing a meal. The plants continue to develop until you cut them; their composition changes with crop and growth stage, so living does not mean a fixed or guaranteed nutrient level.
This is why we describe LUYA in terms of when food is harvested rather than in terms of what it will do for you.
The difference is who decides the harvest date.
- Stored food
- Harvested on a schedule set by logistics, then preserved as well as possible until you buy it.
- Living food
- Harvested on a schedule set by your dinner, then eaten within minutes.
- Both are fine
- This is not an argument against groceries. It is an argument for having one category where the timing is yours.
Small crops that fit everyday meals.
Microgreens are harvested days after germination, need very little space, and are dense in flavour and colour. That combination is what makes an in-home growing cycle short enough to become a habit rather than a project.
Several microgreen crops have been measured with high concentrations of vitamins and carotenoids relative to weight. [1] Broccoli in particular has been studied for glucoraphanin, the precursor of sulforaphane. [3]
Cut, rinse, eat.
Open the door, cut what today needs and leave the uncut plants for another meal within their harvest window. Check the greens before eating, rinse them, and enjoy them while fresh.
One part of a varied plate.
- Not a medical claim
- It does not describe treatment, prevention or cure of anything.
- Not 'maximum nutrition'
- We do not claim microgreens are the most nutritious food available, or superior to all alternatives.
- Not a complete diet
- A tray of greens is a component of a meal, not a replacement for one.
