How are you doing? I hope everything is going well!
These drab winter days have me craving fresh greens. I wanted to highlight one of my favorite greens we have growing right now for you – Microgreens.
Do you know what microgreens are? Microgreens are like baby plants that you can eat. They are very small and come in different colors and shapes. These mini greens pack in a full punch when it comes to flavor and nutrition.
Microgreens are also super healthy. They have up to 40 times more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other good stuff than their grown-up versions. These nutrients can help you stay healthy, prevent diseases, boost your energy, and improve your brain function.
Microgreens taste just like the flavor of the matured crop. Beet micros taste like a beet. The broccoli that is included in our mild mix, tastes like broccoli and so on. We grow several varieties. (Our confetti mix is my favorite, it’s like a party on your plate!)
Treat microgreens just like your lettuce. Wash and dry with a salad spinner. Store in your fridge.
Enjoy them as a garnish or as a tasty addition to sandwiches. Or just eat them raw, right out of the bag. 🙂
Stop by the farm this week or the farmers markets this weekend to pick some up and give them a try. We know you will love them!
