Micro Greens

 

Delicate, tiny, beautiful with a burst of intense flavor.

 

Description
Microgreens (micro greens) are a tiny form of edible greens produced from the seeds of vegetables, herbs or other plants. They range in size from one to two inches long, including the stem and leaves. Microgreens can have surprisingly intense flavors considering their small size, though not as strong as mature greens and herbs.

 

Serving Suggestions

Aside from eating a pile of microgreens as a delicious luxury vegetable, here’s how you can enjoy them:

  • Breakfast & Brunch
    - As a garnish atop eggs
    - As a tiny side salad (microgreens are so delicate and tender, they require no dressing)
  • Lunch
    - Add to salads

    - Garnish soups, sandwiches and wraps

  • Dinner
    - Top grilled fish, chicken or any other meat or seafood (try the reddish microgreens with pale foods)

    - On baked potatoes and other vegetables

  • Plate Garnish
    - Anytime, any plate, sprinkle microgreens around the perimeter or anywhere there’s “empty space”
  • Cocktails
    - Garnish savory drinks like martinis and Bloody Marys
    - Float atop sweet drinks that need some pizzazz from a sprinkling of exotic Red Amaranth
