Radish, 2.0 oz.
Radish microgreens taste like a peppery radish bulb. You might think that a radish microgreen looks leafy and would taste similar to those green leaves that come attached to full grown radish bulbs, but the radish microgreen tastes more like the bulb than those hairy and tough radish greens. If radish microgreens taste like a radish bulb, why wouldn't I just eat a radish? The simple answer is variety, texture, flavor, and nutrition. The radish microgreen is tiny, packed with more vitamins and minerals than the same amount of radish bulb, allows you to add just a dash of radishy goodness, is beautiful to look at, contains chlorophyll, has a different texture than the radish bulb, and can be easily added to your everyday snacks and meals. You can even substitute microgreens for the lettuce on your favorite sandwich to bring a serious flavor enhancement. What you're getting with radish microgreens is a unique tiny vegetable that tastes similar to the bulb of a regular sized radish, but slightly milder and more nutritious.
