How Do You Use Microgreens?
Microgreens are a flavorful, nutrient-dense way to elevate your everyday eats, and they’re easier to add to meals, snacks, and beverages than you might think. Whether you’re new to using microgreens or just looking for fresh ways to incorporate them in your everyday diet, here’s how to effortlessly work them into your routine from breakfast to cocktails:
Salads: Mix microgreens into your greens for added flavor, vitamins, and crunch.
Sandwiches, burgers, and wraps: Swap out lettuce in any of your between-bread favorites for a fresh, vibrant bite. These greens also work great in wraps and rolls.
Smoothies: Blend a handful of microgreens into your regular smoothies for a stealthy nutrient boost (we recommend mildly flavored varieties).
Soups and stews: Top warm dishes with a handful of microgreens for a gourmet finish and added texture.
Eggs and omelets: Add a sprinkle of microgreens to scrambled eggs, omelets, quiches, or frittatas after cooking.
Pasta and rice dishes: Use microgreens as a final flourish on your favorite comfort foods and enjoy the color and crunch.
Stir-fries: Toss a pile of microgreens into any saucy dish just before serving to preserve their fresh flavor and bite.
Pizza: Top hot-from-the-oven pizza with spicy or peppery greens for a more balanced bite.
Sushi rolls: Layer microgreens alongside fresh fish and rice in homemade sushi rolls or sprinkle them on top when you order in.
Infused water and beverages: Add a few sprigs of microgreens for a refreshing, earthy twist to boring tap water.
Snacks: Add to hummus, dips, or even crackers for an easy health boost to complement any flavor profile.
Culinary art: Elevate your dishes and get creative with these tiny greens to impress your guests or treat yourself to visually appealing home cooking.
Cocktail garnishes: Top drinks and mocktails with delicate greens for a craft cocktail vibe.
Microgreens can be the star of the show or a simple garnish sprinkled onto nearly any dish. And the more you use them, the more ways you’ll learn to love them!
