Kale Microgreens
What are Kale Microgreens?
Kale is a leafy green from the brassica family, related to cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. While mature kale is known for its sturdy leaves and sometimes bitter bite, kale microgreens are harvested just days after sprouting, when the plant is only a few inches tall. At this stage, the flavor is milder, slightly nutty, and more delicate, making it approachable even for those who find full-grown kale intense. The leaves are tender with crisp stems, and because microgreens are concentrated in nutrients during this early stage of growth, they deliver even more vitamins and antioxidants per bite than their mature counterpart.
Wash & Store
Rinse gently in cold water and spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.
Store in a container or bag in the fridge with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
How to Use Kale Microgreens
Swap out lettuce for kale microgreens or mix them in for extra crunch, color, and a mild, earthy flavor.
Use as a finishing touch on soups, avocado toast, or roasted veggies for freshness and nutrition.
Add a handful to a smoothie. Kale microgreens bring vitamins without the bitterness of mature kale.
