Microgreens pack triple the benefits of their mature counterparts! Freshly picked on day of delivery! Here are some micro idea for the holiday feasts.
🌱Micro Carrot:
add to soups or mirepoix base, or use in traditional side salad or garnish the holiday Turkey!
🌱Micro Mesclun Mix:
is a spicy blend of mustard greens and chard. Top off a green bean casserole, add to a traditional side salad or garnish guacamole dip or another favorite side dish.
🌱Micro Melon:
These crunchy shoots are a creative way to sweeten up your favorite holiday cocktail. Add some crunch to a cranberry side dish or use to garnish desserts.
🌱Micro Leek:
These greens have a soft texture with an unmistakable spring green onion flavor. Chop them up and serve on top of mashed or baked potatoes. Add or substitute anywhere you would normally add onions, like in stuffing.
🌱Red Cabbage or Kohlrabi:
delicate green leaves and is similar to cabbage in flavor. Use in coleslaw or apple slaw.
🌱Micro Wasabi:
Mildly similar to the spiciness of horseradish. Add to potato salad or to any side dish you’d like to add a spicy kick.
🌱Borage:
With hints of cucumber and melon, this unique microgreen pairs well with a fruit or any salad.
🌱Purple Radish:
Peppery sweet flavor, the perfect addition to add a bit of zing to that leftover turkey sandwich. Or pair radish microgreens with kohlrabi microgreens to make an apple slaw side dish.

Nutritional facts:
🌱They have been labeled a “functional food” (foods that have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition).
🌱Researchers with the United States (U.S.) Department of Agriculture who’ve assessed over a dozen commercially available microgreen varieties to analyze their nutritional content and Radish was the top providing over 20 times the amount of nutrition of their mature counterparts.
🌱They provide vital nutrients in abundance, including proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, polyunsaturated fats, fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. They carried the highest vitamin C concentrations, carotenoids, vitamin K, and vitamin E. It also contains zinc, potassium, folate, manganese, copper, sodium, phosphorus, dietary fiber, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B1 & B6, calcium, iron, magnesium and so much more.
🌱 Radish Microgreens contain Essential Amino Acids which enable the body to conduct innumerable critical processes for life, including energy regulation, enzymatic functioning, tissue growth and repair, immune functions, neurotransmitter production, and calcium absorption.
🌱 Radish Microgreens Fight Free Radicals which are molecules that can reduce or prevent cellular damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radicals form in the body either from normal essential metabolic processes such as digestion or external sources such as exposure to X-rays, ozone, cigarette smoking, air pollutants, industrial chemicals, ultraviolet light, or other external environmental stressors. They cause inflammatory conditions, stroke, heart disease, cancer, immune deficiency, and other conditions. Adding radish micro into your diet can help fight against these free radicals.
