Supporting a healthy and balanced diet, Micro Watercress has numerous health benefits and has been known to be the ‘original superfood’. You can find out more about our wonderful Watercress here.
Micro Red Cabbage
Packed with vitamin C and K, Micro Red Cabbage has a sweet, mildly earthy taste. It makes the perfect garnish for salads, soups or stews and is best suited for raw applications, to keep its heart-shaped leaves intact!
Sunflower Shoots
Crunchy, crisp and nutty, our Micro Sunflower Shoots are perfect in a salad. They have an earthy, fresh, and sweet flavour and provide added texture as a garnish. Sunflower shoots contain amino acids, plus minerals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium.
