When you need a little heat….reach for some mustard micro greens! Mustard Greens are extremely potent and flavorful! Don’t let the delicate texture and small stature fool you. These guys bring the heat!
Tasting of horseradish or wasabi, a little can go a long way. They are the most intensely flavored micro-green that we grow. It looks a lot like Kale, or Broccoli, but if you accidentally grab a handful of mustard instead, you will know. Their flavor anchors our spicy blend alongside Arugula and Radish. Its an intense flavor but it finishes quickly.
We like to use our mustard micro-greens like hot sauce. Baked potatoes, stir fry, pasta, or avocado toast are all perfect pairings. If you eat eggs and fish, they are great to match with mustard micros. The spice of these greens could also be blended into a salad dressing or tomato juice too! Surprise everyone at your next brunch with a superfood micro green bloody mary!
All micro greens are great because they have a very high nutritional density and low calories. According to Dr Axe, “they are a great source of fiber, which helps to regulate your digestive tract and lower high cholesterol levels”. “They are also full of antioxidants which protect your body from free radical damage”. Vitamins wise, they are high in K, A and C as well as folate. Feeling sick? Reach for some micro greens for their exceptional vitamin c content, which will boost your immune system!
It’s important to eat your micro-greens fresh and raw. Add them to your meal after it has cooled and is ready to eat. This will ensure that you get all of the nutritional content, no matter what you eat them with! Give it a try. Skip the hot sauce and reach for some micro-greens!
