If microgreens were fresh at the time of harvest but have deteriorated afterward, based on our experience, this can occur due to several reasons:

1. Incomplete Drying: If the microgreens are not thoroughly dried before storage, even a slight amount of moisture can lead to spoilage.

2. Inadequate Storage: Storing microgreens in a container or bag that is not airtight can expose them to environmental factors that accelerate deterioration.

3. Extended Room Temperature Exposure: Leaving microgreens outside of the refrigerator for an extended duration can also contribute to their decline in quality.
