Microgreens with a mild flavor

Mild flavors range from nutty to sweet, many with the delicate taste of larger vegetables – like carrot and cucumber. These microgreens make it easy to boost the nutrition of a meal without changing the taste too much.

Microgreens with a spicey flavor

There are several microgreens with deep spiciness that you can use in your hearty dishes. We love dressing our salad with mustard microgreens and topping our pizzas with arugula. We also love the rush of eating the radish straight but maybe we’re a bit intense.

Herbs that can be grown as microgreens

Most herbs can be grown as microgreens. In addition to the much shorter time to harvest (in days, not months), they are also more tender, making them better garnishes for desserts and cocktails.

Microgreen shoots that are good for snacking

Shoots are our favorite for snacking on straight – but also add a nice crisp to sandwiches and are some of the most kid-friendly varieties. They are typically bigger seeds that need to be soaked before planting. It’s not too hard, but is a tiny bit more advanced
