Small Greens, Big Flavor: Choosing the Right Microgreens for the Job

Not all microgreens taste the same and that's part of what makes them so useful.Some varieties are mild and fresh. Others are peppery, earthy, sweet, or surprisingly bold. Choosing the right one can add more than just color to a dish.

Want Something Mild?
Broccoli microgreens offer a fresh, approachable flavor that works well in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and bowls.

Looking for a little kick?
Mustard microgreens bring a noticeable peppery bite that can complement burgers, sandwiches, meats, and savory dishes.

Need versatility?
A mixed variety, like Noble Planter's Signature Salad Mix, gives you different colors, textures, and flavors all in one handful.

Want something distinctive?
Varieties like cilantro, arugula, basil, or Bulls Blood Beets can give chefs another way to experiment with flavor and presentation.

Think Beyond the Garnish

The best microgreen isn't necessarily the prettiest one.

It's the one that works with the food underneath it.

Whether you're creating a restaurant entrée or making lunch at home, try choosing microgreens the same way you'd choose any other ingredient:

By the flavor you want to bring to the plate.
