What is your favourite ways to use microgreens? My best advice use them the way you would use their mature counterparts. Like radish I your potato salad? Use radish microgreens instead/too it is BBQ season after all!

Pea shoots are so delicious! So I used them to make this gluten and dairy free dish. We used this wonderful gluten-free pasta from Messinger Meats and added a pesto we made from pea shoots, peas, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Add a fried chicken breast (I dredge in almond flour with blackened seasoning) voila excellent week day meal!

The perfect lunch! Looking for something gluten free, low carb, keto? Sometime you just can’t beat a salad.

Check out Messinger Meats to grab your chicken skins and pick up some microgreens too!

So of course my favourite part of growing microgreens is taking care of those little plants 🌱. There is a little more to it though... I prep the trays, weigh the seeds, water them. And after harvest I scrub and sanitize the trays. Then sweeping up. Lucky me today I had help from my hubby tray scrubbing and one of my kids sweeping up!

Mustard! This little flavor bomb is said to have several vitamins such as A, C, K and E. They are also filled with goodness such as protein, fibre, folate, calcium, iron. Add this microgreen to an egg salad sandwich and it’s incredible!

Pea microgreens are delicious but should be looked at for their amazing health benefits. In a cup they contain about 50% your daily recommended value of vitamin C and are rich in iron. I eat mine straight up for snack while having a FaceTime tea with a friend. How beautiful is that tea! If you haven’t tried Hot-Tea Bombs I definitely recommend you do!

Coriander or cilantro? Is there a difference? I don’t know... as far as I can tell people call the seeds coriander and the plant 🌱 cilantro. Anyone have insight lol? Did you know those little seed hulls from the coriander seeds are completely edible and actually have a very interesting flavour.
