What are Microgreens?


Microgreens are a tiny (and I mean tiny!) form of edible greens. They range in size from one to two inches long, including the stem and leaves. Microgreens can have surprisingly intense flavors considering their small size. Our special 'Erdenheim Farm' mix includes a mix of colors and different leaf types. They make for great salads by themselves, or try them as a garnish on holiday plates or as a topping for sandwiches. We are growing them this year in our 'cool' greenhouses, since they like the colder weather. Ounce for ounce, they are a bit more expensive than traditional lettuces, but it is because it takes so much more seed to grow. Try some today!
