Microgreens Pack a Whollop

Yes, they really are that nutritious. They also happen to be really tasty.

Use them to add a little punch and interest to your salads. Put them on your sandwich instead of lettuce or in addition to it. Add them as a topper for soups or other dishes. We even put them on our eggs.

Don’t let their small size fool you. These powerhouses of nutrition prove that big things can come in small packages.
