# Buying and eating

Page 4 of 4

- [How to Store Microgreens, and How Long Do They Last?](https://microgreensguru.com/blog/how-to-store-microgreens/): Cold, dry, unwashed and vented, and basil is the exception. Controlled studies cover about a dozen crops out of sixty-two, and they disagree on the best temperature.
- [Should You Wash Microgreens? Yes, But Not When You Think](https://microgreensguru.com/blog/should-you-wash-microgreens/): Wash them immediately before eating and never before storing. A plain-water rinse removes half to three quarters of the bacteria, not all of it, and every shelf-life number you have ever read for microgreens silently assumes the crop was never washed.
- [What Each Microgreen Tastes Like, and What to Put It With](https://microgreensguru.com/blog/what-microgreens-taste-like/): A flavor line for microgreens, crop by crop. Here is one for all 62 crops, and it shows the axis that actually matters is not how peppery a crop is but how much of it you can eat.
