ABOUT
Red Kale microgreens are one of the most visually striking things you can grow on a kitchen counter — the deep magenta-to-purple stems emerge like little flames beneath a canopy of serrated green leaves traced with violet veins. Their flavour is a gentle, rounded kale character with just enough nuttiness to make them interesting, none of the bitterness of the mature leaf, and a clean, crisp bite that holds up beautifully under dressing. They perform brilliantly scattered over a grain bowl, tucked into a wrap with hummus and roasted vegetables, or simply laid across an open-faced egg and avocado toast. With a 10–12 day turnaround and almost zero barriers to entry, there has never been a better moment to get a tray going.
