What it is
This is a selection of young, tender green shoots harvested at their earliest growth stage. These microgreens are packed with vibrant flavor and a delicate texture.

The mix typically includes a variety of popular microgreens, offering a diverse flavor profile.
How people cook with it
Microgreens are a versatile ingredient, perfect for enhancing both the flavor and appearance of your meals.
- Garnish for soups and stews
- Topping for sandwiches and wraps
- Mix into salads
- Add to pasta dishes
Gently rinse the microgreens under cool water and pat them dry with a paper towel before use. They are best added at the end of the cooking process or served raw to preserve their delicate texture and vibrant flavor. Sprinkle them over finished dishes like pizzas, tacos, or grilled meats. They can also be incorporated into smoothies or blended into sauces for a subtle green boost. Their small size makes them easy to incorporate into almost any meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Microgreens are harvested much earlier than mature greens, resulting in a more intense flavor and a tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth texture. Unlike sprouts, which are grown in water, microgreens are grown in soil, giving them a more developed flavor profile.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use microgreens to elevate their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining microgreens fresh, store them in their original packaging or a breathable container in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept dry to prevent wilting. Consume within a few days of opening for the best quality and flavor.
