ABOUT
Green Nasturtium microgreens are one of the few crops that look as impressive on the plate as they taste — those wide, shield-shaped leaves on flushed pink stems are a chef's garnish dream straight from the tray. Bite into one and you'll get a clean, sharp, persistent peppery heat that builds slowly on the palate, quite unlike any other microgreen — more tenacious than radish, more complex than arugula. Scatter a few chopped leaves over street tacos, fold them into a vinaigrette, or blend them into soft goat's cheese for an instant flavour upgrade. Nasturtiums also hold the record for the highest lutein concentration of any edible plant — reason enough to start a tray today.
