When it comes to growing fresh, healthy food at home, nutrients are the heart and soul of any successful hydroponic system. At The Salad Table, we provide a premium hydroponic nutrient blend that’s easy to use, highly effective, and most importantly—safe for you and your family.
If you’re wondering what our nutrients are made from, whether they’re organic, or how they support plant growth, this blog is for you.
🌱 What Are Hydroponic Nutrients?
Hydroponic nutrients are the essential minerals and elements that plants need to grow. In traditional soil gardening, plants absorb these nutrients from the soil. In a hydroponic setup, the nutrients are delivered directly to the plant roots through water, giving you complete control over your growing environment.
Our hydroponic nutrient solution is perfectly balanced to suit a wide variety of plants—from leafy greens and herbs to tomatoes, strawberries and pretty much everything you could possibly grow on your Salad Table.
✅ Are The Salad Table Nutrients Organic?
This is a great question—and one we get often.
While our nutrient blend is not classified as organic under current certification standards, it’s made from high-purity mineral salts that are 100% safe and widely used in both commercial and home food production.
These minerals are essentially the same elements plants would naturally draw from healthy soil—just provided in a purified, water-soluble form. This allows for maximum nutrient absorption and healthy plant growth without the variability and limitations of soil-based gardening.
In short: our nutrients aren’t organic by label, but they’re clean, safe, and incredibly effective.
