TASTE & TEXTURE DESCRIPTIONS of the Micro Greens we Grow for You:
- MILD MIX BRASSICAS - This blend of mildly flavored brassicas contains mizuna, cabbage, kale, and kohlrabi. Mostly green with a touch of purple.
- RADISH MIX - A vibrant, mildly spicy blend of purple and green radish leaves with red, purple, and pink stems. Micro radish greens are lofty and add weight to a mix, resulting in a heavier product. A visually stunning, flavorful mix for ultimate plate appeal.
FUN FACTS:
- microgreens are vegetables, grains and herbs grown from seed, sown very densely, and harvested and consumed as immature plants, with developed cotyledons (first leaves) and partially expanded trues leaves, 7 to 21 days young
- they were first used as culinary garnishes for beauty and later as added tastes and textures to dishes in high cuisine on the US coasts in the 1980's; they became a hot commodity once their packed, dense, nutrient profile and health benefits was understood at the beginning of the 21st century; they are considered a SuperFood!
