Seasons/Availability
MicroGreen Mache is available year round.

Current Facts
Tiny seedlings of herbs and greens, nutritious MicroGreens are today’s popular gourmet garnish and flavor accent offering a multitude of colors, textures and distinct flavors. Grown in soil or soil-like materials, MicroGreens depend on sunlight and air circulation to flourish, unlike sprouts that grow in water and require a dark environment with high humidity. Cut just above the soil, MicroGreens are harvested one to two inches tall and seven to twenty-one days after planting when their very first leaves appear. Visually accentuating the fine dining experience, chic MicroGreens’ tasty stems and leaves create an eye-catching presentation that definitely delights diners.

Description/Taste
MicroGreen Mache produces attractive mini green leaves that offer a delicious nutty flavor.

Applications
Ideal for adding a nutty taste to mixed green fresh salads. Perfect edible garnish for main entrees, savory dishes, sandwiches and soups. To store, refrigerate in a sealed container. Use promptly for optimum quality, flavor and presentation.

Geography/History

Boasting one of the best growing climates in the world, North San Diego County's compatible weather is ideal for growing top quality MicroGreens that are remarkably superior to greens produced in other parts of the country. Fresh Origins' farm-fresh MicroGreens are never stringy, weak or bland in flavor. Hand harvested with lots of TLC and adamant about food safety, Fresh Origins Farm harvests MicroGreens daily at their peak of freshness. Specialty Produce emphatically endorses and promotes our local California growers and the California farming industry.
