Now that we have two different varieties, we feel like our radish microgreens need a special shout out!

Did you know that radish microgreens are some of the most nutritious?

Not only do these babies look gorgeous but they are packed with vitamin A, C, E, and B complex vitamins. Radish microgreens aid in tissue growth and repair, immune function and both cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health. AND they are incredibly flavorful just like a radish bulb, but with 4-40x more nutrients! A perfect addition to any salad or sandwich.

Come by our booth this Thursday at the from 10am-2pm and snag some Rambo Radish or Spicy Rainbow Radish microgreens!

Meet the people behind the greens! 🌱 We are Early Bird Farms, a husband and wife team with a newborn baby girl, wishing to serve our community and the environment by providing clean, healthy, sustainable, and delicious microgreens. ⠀
⠀
Our microgreens are grown from the highest quality non-gmo seeds, ensuring top of the line taste and texture every time. Grown locally in our home in DeKalb, Illinois, these delicious microgreens are packed with 4 to 40 times more nutrients than traditionally eaten, fully grown adult plants, providing an essence of flavor that elevates any dish.⠀
⠀
You can find us every Thursday at the DeKalb Farmer’s Market downtown from 10am-2pm where we sell a variety of microgreens and freshly baked focaccia bread. So, come stop by and say hello! Can’t make it out on Thursday? Shoot us a DM or email and we have pickup and delivery services now available!

We love our Speckled Pea shoots for their sweet, fresh taste and incredible versatility. They taste just like fresh peas from a pod, but did you know they also have incredible health benefits? ⠀
⠀
These tasty and nutrient dense microgreens contain up to 40x more nutrients than their mature adult counterpart. Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins A, C and K, our Speckled Pea microgreens can help to promote overall health, ward off disease, and may also help treat and prevent cancer.⠀
⠀
Vitamin C not only reduces the risk of infections, but promotes neurotransmitter production which helps in regulating your mood!
⠀
These are a no brainer if you’re new to microgreens and don’t know which variety of ours to try first. Add these to salads, wilt on top of stir fry, or just snack on them raw. ⠀
⠀
Delicious AND they’re good for you! Want to see for yourself? Stop by the DeKalb Farmers' Market this Thursday and grab some!
