ABOUT
Crimson Clover microgreens are the quiet achievers of the tray garden — fine, light-green stems topped with those unmistakable three-lobed cotyledons that feel almost too pretty to eat. Bite in and you get a clean, gently sweet flavour with a softness that sits somewhere between fresh pea shoots and alfalfa, making them instantly approachable for even cautious eaters. Scatter them over a warm lentil salad, tuck them into a sourdough sandwich with hummus and roasted peppers, or blend them raw into a morning green smoothie — they disappear beautifully without competing with other flavours. What makes this variety especially worth growing right now is its concentration of biochanin A and formononetin, isoflavones found specifically in Trifolium incarnatum that are rarely present at this level in other salad greens.
