Asian Greens
Our freshly harvested Asian blend has layers of light flavor that’s perfect with ginger, mustard, or miso-based dressings. This balanced mix works well as a base for a salad, and is perfect for adding to this week’s micro mix. Paninis, tacos, and omelets pop when this is added! Mix with butter and a dash of soy sauce, garlic, sea salt, and pepper and wilt into a stir fry or to top meats.
Hakurei Turnips
Winter needs warmth, and these turnips will turn up the flavor! These delicious root vegetables have a warmth all their own that are perfect for winter salads and cold weather fare. Try them with this week’s arugula mix, shave them into stews and soups, or slice them and enjoy with a dip. They taste good raw, but can be sliced and prepared in the skillet for 30 minutes with oil, sea salt, and garlic chives added in the last 10 minutes.
Microgreen Medley
This green and purple treat has a perfectly blended flavor profile and looks pretty on a plate! A classic superfood at any size, broccoli microgreens are bright and earthy, with the classic vegetable flavor that makes them usable in a number of recipes. Amaranth microgreens have all the flavor but not all the spice of mustard. The mix adds a unique flavor dimension to sandwiches, soups, and in salads, tacos, and omelets. Blend it into Bloody Mary mix for an added twist on a classic cocktail or mocktail.
Garlic Chives
Our farm-grown garlic chives taste like garlic and complement any dish like chives. Rich in vitamin A and iron, these tasteful treats can fortify your body and beat colds. This medicinal vegetable is part of the onion family. Our favorite foodies add garlic chives to stir fries, warm paninis or hamburgers, in roasts and soups, and anywhere that needs an extra dose of earthy garlic flavor. With a little crunch, garlic chives add texture and flavor to any culinary conversation. We love them in pasta sauces and sour-cream or ranch-based dips. Try them with this week’s turnips or Chinese mahogany and wasabi arugula!
Flavor Topper (Chinese Mahogany and Wasabi Arugula)
This unique salad blend is perfect for winter colds, as it’s high in vitamins, calcium, and chlorophyll. Chinese mahogany has a garlic-y, savory, roasted flavor that combines perfectly with the tingly, earthy heat of wasabi arugula to make this blend truly one of a kind! Add oranges, cranberries, and walnuts to create a flavor forward salad. Perfect for an entree or a full meal, especially with turnips. The healing properties of Chinese mahogany are more pronounced when this mix is parboiled into a stir fry or used atop a rice or egg dish. We love it blended into pestos, eaten with kimchi, or blended into a smoothie for a flavorful zing!
