Feature of the Week

Looking for a way to spice up your plates but not in a costly way? Try Microgreens! What are Microgreens? They are tiny, tiny vegetables and herbs, no more than 8 to 14 days old, which have just developed their cotyledon (first leaves). They are far tinier than “baby greens.”

Microgreens are very tender and O what flavor they have! Intense and delicate, visually captivating, and sublime to eat; they are a gourmet experience. Yet, they are highly nutritious with scarcely a calorie. The assorted mix includes a variety of Microgreens available from that day’s harvest.  Some varieties may include: micro basil, micro bulls blood, micro arugula, micro cilantro, micro red beet tops, and more!

Use them as a garnish, or to spice up salads and sandwiches. Only a pinch is needed!
