Recipes & uses

“What do I do with them?”

It’s the question we hear most — and the happy answer is: countless things. Microgreens are the easiest upgrade in the kitchen. Snack on them raw, blend them into shakes, or scatter a handful over almost anything for instant flavor, color and nutrition.

Featured recipe

Microgreen Salad with Peaches & Avocado

A bright, seasonal salad that lets our microgreens shine — sweet summer peaches and creamy avocado over a generous bed of fresh greens, finished with crunch and a little salt.

Pile a generous handful of fresh microgreens with sliced peaches and avocado.

Scatter over toasted nuts and a little salty cheese for crunch and contrast.

Finish with a simple homemade vinaigrette just before serving.
