Zesty Salad Mix (Broccoli, Kale, and Mustard)
Zesty Salad Mix variety includes Broccoli, Kale, and Mustard
Broccoli microgreens are miniature broccoli plants harvested when they are just 2 to 3 inches tall, typically within 10–12 days of planting. Unlike broccoli sprouts, which are tiny seedlings with only white stems and small leaves, microgreens are more developed, including roots, stems, and cotyledon leaves, giving them a more robust nutritional profile and flavor. They have a mild, slightly sweet, tangy, and peppery taste, making them easy to incorporate into salads, smoothies, soups, pizzas, and tacos. Broccoli microgreens are considered a superfood due to their high concentration of nutrients. They contain vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, as well as minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and fiber. They are also rich in sulforaphane, a phytochemical known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potential anti-cancer properties. Consuming microgreens can support immune function, digestive health, and liver detoxification, while providing a milder taste than mature cruciferous vegetables.
Kale microgreens (not sold as an individual variety) are very young kale plants, typically harvested 10-12 days after planting. Just like their mature counterparts, kale microgreens are part of the cabbage family, related to other healthy vegetables like cauliflower, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli. Kale has long been revered across the world for its amazing health benefits, although not everyone enjoys its strong and earthy flavor. Kale microgreens, on the other hand, are packed with many times more nutrients than fully-grown kale. They also have a milder flavor and a much more palatable texture when eaten raw.
Mustard microgreens (not sold as an individual variety) are the tender, nutrient-dense seedlings of the mustard plant, harvested at the cotyledon stage for maximum flavor and health benefits. They deliver a spicy, peppery, and slightly sweet punch that elevates salads, sandwiches, soups, and sushi.
These baby greens are packed with vitamins A, C, K, B6, E, calcium, fiber, potassium, and folate, plus antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds like glucosinolates. A single serving can provide 78% of your daily vitamin C and 215% of your daily vitamin K. Their high antioxidant content supports detoxification, reduces oxidative stress, and may help protect heart health, support immune function, and promote eye health.
