How long do microgreens last after harvest? As a general rule, purchased microgreens typically last 10-12 days in your fridge. If you were to grow your own microgreens and cut them at home, they would last about two weeks, on average. The shelf life can vary, however, depending on the type of microgreen. For example, heartier varieties like sunflower, scallions, and pea tendrils can last up to three weeks, yet the more delicate varieties, like basil, may only last up to five days.
