Tatsoi Is the New Spinach (Haven’t You Heard?)

Tatsoi Is the New Spinach (Haven’t You Heard?)

Tatsoi. Sometimes we just need to talk about a vegetable because it’s fun to say. So what is it? Tatsoi is a member of the Brassica family—along with mustard greens and Brussel Sprouts. It has a buttery texture and a slightly sweet, mustardy flavor. 
One of the most popular uses of tatsoi microgreens in the kitchen is as a seasoning which can give a fresh zing of taste to salads and grilled dishes that you may eat during the summer months. 
If you want to improve the sandwiches that you make as a snack, you can do so using tatsoi microgreens. Simply sprinkling them on top of your favorite filling helps to create a better all-round flavor.

You can order Tatsoi microgreens online with home delivery along with any of our 20+ varieties of microgreens at Market Wagon or during the summer at our booth at the Birmingham Farmers Market.
