Health Benefits

Phytonutrients are a big part of what makes vegetables beautiful and healthy! Phytonutrients have many potential functions in a plant, two of which are imparting color and flavor. People who consume more phytonutrients have been shown to be less likely to experience cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and diabetes as well as other conditions.  Eating a wide array of phytonutrients is also a great way to support a healthy immune system and mood.

It all started with Brassica oleracea, the common plant that started the now large brassica vegetable family! Brassica (aka cruciferous) vegetables are part of the mustard family (genus Brassicaceae) and cabbage family - giving them their sometimes “spicy” flavor. 

Blend Includes:

• Broccoli
• Arugula
• Chinese cabbage
• Purple Radish
• Red Mustard

Health Benefits

This antioxidant blend of brassica microgreens is a great source of vitamins (A, Folate, C, E, K), minerals (iron, potassium, calcium), phytonutrients (carotenoids, glucosinolates (I3C and sulforaphane), polyphenols), and fiber.

It all started with Brassica oleracea, the common plant that started the now large brassica vegetable family! Brassica (aka cruciferous) vegetables are part of the mustard family (genus Brassicaceae) and cabbage family - giving them their sometimes “spicy” flavor.

The beautiful part of microgreens is that ounce for ounce they are more nutrient-dense than their full-size counterparts and are super easy to incorporate into meals.

Harvesting plants at the microgreen stage results in:

• Higher levels of vitamins (C, folate, thiamin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, niacin, etc.).
• Lower levels of “antinutrients” like phytate, oxalate, and tannins.
• Enhanced flavor
• Improved availability and absorption of minerals like iron and calcium
• Enhanced digestibility of protein found in the plant

Brassica vegetables have been studied to potentially:

• Prevent oxidative stress (which damages cells) by providing antioxidants
• Benefit neurodegenerative disease and heart disease
• Turn on detox enzymes in your body
• Increase phase II detoxification
• Support healthy detoxification and elimination of estrogen metabolites.
• May be beneficial for hormonal balance and prevention of estrogen-sensitive cancers.
• Support the immune system
• Decrease chronic inflammation
• Reduce the risk of cancers
• Lung, colon, pancreatic, breast, bladder, and prostate cancers
• Reduce and/or slow growth of cancer cells

Cooking (boiling) reduces the level of glucosinolates so we recommend that you consume these microgreens raw to obtain the most beneficial nutrients,

Looking to get the most brassica benefit from your microgreens? Chew mindfully! Chewing helps to break up the cell walls of the microgreens which release the enzyme myrosinase. Myrosinase can then come into contact with the glucosinolates changing them into isothiocyanates (like sulforaphane). Your gut bacteria help too, but chewing, chopping, etc. have the greatest impact on increasing sulforaphane (which is one of the most well-known beneficial phytochemicals in brassicas).

Put this blend in everything! We suggest putting a handful of these microgreens in your:

• Salads
• Sandwiches/Wraps
• Smoothies
• Savory Oatmeal
• Eggs

**Disclaimer: If undergoing chemotherapy only consume with the direction of your oncology provider. If low thyroid (or low iodine) concerns talk with your medical practitioner prior to consuming large quantities.

Add a sweet onion flavor that’s a bit earthy to your dishes with our farm-fresh leeks. These chewy, fleshy leeks build heat at the back of the throat when eaten, and they look similar to green onions with firm white shanks, ones that don’t bulb out like a green onion.

One of our signature crops is fresh spinach -- and we offer multiple varieties. Our delicious root spinach tastes mild, fresh, green and buttery, with natural sugar content off the charts! Brix readings are literally as high as an apple. Our spinach starts off sweet tasting, then finishes with nutty-buttery flavor. For a variety of fresh spinach with a mildly bitter taste progressing into earthiness, choose tropical spinach with its bright red stem and small reddish-green leaves. Our promise: we’ll never grow fresh spinach for maximum yield. Instead, we grow for flavor and nutrition.

You may have noticed your lettuce and greens look and feel a little different. That's because we have moved them indoors to our greenhouse "still soil grown" to protect them from the Ohio elements. They have the same great flavor and nutrients but are a little less sturdy.  Hope you enjoy them just the same!

Green Goddess Dip

Create a Green Goddess Dip:

• 1 cup of greens. Choose a combination of your favorite greens such as dill, mint, parsley, basil, chives, watercress or cilantro.
  
• 1-2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 scallions, white and green parts, sliced
• 1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
•  Pinch kosher salt, more to taste
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, optional
• ½ cup Créme Fraiche, Sour Cream, or Plain Greek Yogurt
• ¼ cup mayonnaise, optional

If you are dairy intolerant, sub soft tofu for the cheese and yogurt and add the traditional anchovy or tsp of fish sauce. The anchovy replaces the tang of the fermented dairy items.

1. Place greens, garlic, scallions, lemon juice and salt in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
2. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until incorporated. Add feta and process until smooth; pulse in yogurt. Taste dip and add more salt, if desired. If you like a creamier, richer dip, add mayonnaise and pulse to combine.
3. Serve dip immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
