WHAT IS A MICROGREEN?
Microgreens are very young versions of your favorite leafy greens and vegetables. They are usually harvested 7-24 days after germination, right after the plant's first leaves emerge. Because they are so young they contain a condensed amount of vitamins and minerals that not only makes them tasty, but a great source of plant based nutrition. We grow many different kinds of microgreens that all offer different nutritional benefits. Whether you are a chef, avid home cook or casual eater, try some microgreens to add the perfect touch of excitement and nutrition to your next plate.
How can I use microgreens? Recipe List
Microgreens can be used in salads, shakes, cold and warm dishes and enjoyed by themselves. Microgreens can bring a surprising amount of flavor, texture, and color to any dish. Are you looking to step up your culinary game at home with fresh nutritious microgreens, we got you.
VEGGIE BOWLS WITH MICROGREENS
Curly pea tendrils add so much flavor to a vegan bbq bowl add both flavor and protein. Layer the cooked rice, beans, corn, fresh avocado, and bbq tempeh. Top with a light bbq sauce and vegan sour cream. Mixing the fresh greens with warm cooked vegetables, beans, and rice creates a texturally, exciting, playful dish.
AVOCADO TOAST WITH MICROGREENS
Avocado toast topped with fresh tomatoes, a balsamic glaze, and broccoli microgreens. Or try the avocado toast with sunflower sprouts, pumpkin seeds, and goat cheese for a savory flavor. Tip: For a "spicy" avocado toast, try topping with wasabi, arugula, or radish microgreens.
MICROGREENS AS A SIDE DISH
A simple beet salad made with broccoli microgreens, roasted beets, sea salt, pepper, and a light squeeze of lemon juice served as a side-dish to meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Microgreens can serve as a flavorful side of greens to compliment any dish the same way one would use kale or spinach.
ADD MICROGREENS TO PASTA DISHES
Garnish pasta dishes, like this linguine with hummus cream sauce with sautéed mushrooms and tomatoes. You can also add fresh microgreens to soups and sauces. Adding microgreens to carb-heavy meals helps to balance the dish while adding loads of nutritional value.
FRESH MICROGREENS SALAD
With so many microgreens varieties to choose from, the salad possibilities are endless. Using several different microgreen varieties in one salad adds dimension and the opportunity to layer flavors. Add grated ginger, sliced purple cabbage, onion slices, radish, lemon zest, fresh olive oil, sea salt, and ground pepper to finish.
Tip: Drizzle a bowl with salad dressing or oil and toss the salad for better coverage
