Our gorgeous combination of garlic chive, china rose radish, and broccoli microgreens offers a vibrant mix of fresh, crunchy, and spicy flavours, balanced with a mild oniony and herbaceous kick. Each of these microgreens brings something unique to the mix:
Garlic chive microgreens: Have a mild, garlicky, onion-like flavour, similar to chives, with a subtle herbaceous note that’s not overpowering but adds depth and freshness.
China Rose radish microgreens: Offer a crisp, spicy, and slightly sweet flavour, with a peppery bite that's milder than the heat of other radish varieties but still packs a punch.
Broccoli microgreens: Mildly peppery with a slight mustard-like flavour, these microgreens offer a slightly earthy, fresh taste that complements the spicier radish greens and balances the garlic chive’s savory notes.
When combined, these three microgreens create a dynamic, multi-layered flavour profile that’s spicy, savoury, and slightly earthy, with a refreshing crispness. 
Here are some ideas of what this combination tastes delicious with:
1. Salads
This microgreen blend is perfect for adding flavour and crunch to salads. The mild heat from the China Rose radish and the savoury notes of garlic chive pair beautifully with lettuce, spinach, or arugula. Complement the freshness with avocado, cucumber, grilled chicken, or smoked salmon, and dress it with a lemon vinaigrette or mustard-based dressing for a tangy contrast.
2. Sandwiches and Wraps
Add this mix to sandwiches or wraps for a burst of freshness and crunch. They pair wonderfully with roast beef, turkey, or chicken, as well as hummus, cheese, and avocado. Their garlic chive and peppery notes elevate the flavour profile, making them perfect for sandwiches with creamy fillings or rich meats. They also work well in vegetarian wraps with avocado, roasted vegetables, or grilled tofu.
3. Egg Dishes
These microgreens can add a fresh kick to any egg dish. Sprinkle them on scrambled eggs, omelets, frittatas, or deviled eggs for a zesty, savory finish. Their garlicky and spicy notes complement eggs well, especially when paired with cheese (like cheddar, goat cheese, or parmesan), smoked salmon, or avocado.
4. Tacos and Burritos
This microgreen trio is a great topping for tacos or burritos, adding freshness and spice. Use them to garnish grilled chicken, fish, beef, or vegetarian fillings. They’re also fantastic with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, or cheese. Their peppery bite and herbaceous flavours brighten up the richness of the fillings, making every bite a little more exciting.
5. Grilled Meats and Fish
This combination of microgreens makes a great garnish for grilled meats like chicken, steak, or pork, and also complements grilled fish like salmon or tuna. The spicy and garlicky flavors from the microgreens add a zesty contrast to the smoky, savoury richness of the grilled proteins. They're also great on grilled vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, and bell peppers.
6. Grain Bowls
These microgreens are an excellent topping for grain bowls made with quinoa, farro, rice, or barley. Their freshness and spice complement the earthiness of grains, roasted vegetables (like sweet potatoes, beets, or brussels sprouts), and proteins like chicken, tofu, or chickpeas. A drizzle of lemon-tahini dressing or a mustard vinaigrette will tie everything together nicely.
7. Smoothies
For an adventurous twist, add these microgreens to green smoothies. Their garlicy and peppery notes add an unexpected kick to fruity smoothies, balancing out sweeter ingredients like pineapple, mango, or orange. They also blend well with other greens, like spinach or kale, and are great when paired with cucumber and ginger for a fresh, savory smoothie.
8. Pasta
These microgreens can be sprinkled over pasta dishes to add an extra layer of flavour and texture. They pair wonderfully with pesto (especially garlic or basil pesto) or lemon and garlic pasta sauces. The spicy and savoury notes of the microgreens enhance the flavors of grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted vegetables, and they provide a fresh contrast to creamy pasta dishes like alfredo or carbonara.
9. Pizza
Sprinkle these microgreens on top of pizza after baking for a fresh, crunchy garnish. Their garlicky, spicy, and oniony notes pair beautifully with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and cheese. They are also great with grilled vegetables, pepperoni, or sausage, adding brightness and complexity to the rich and savory pizza.
10. Cheese Plates
This microgreen combination is excellent on a cheese platter. The garlicky, spicy, and savoury flavors balance the richness of creamy cheeses like brie, camembert, or cream cheese. They also pair nicely with sharper cheeses like cheddar, parmesan, or goat cheese. Add some crackers, grapes, or figs for a complete and visually stunning cheese board.
11. Sushi and Poke Bowls
The peppery and herbaceous flavours of these microgreens add a fresh contrast to sushi rolls or poke bowls. They work particularly well with salmon, tuna, or yellowtail, and complement the flavours of avocado, cucumber, soy sauce, and seaweed. Their crunchy texture also adds a satisfying element to the soft, tender fish.
12. Soups
Use this combination as a garnish for soups, especially those with a creamy or brothy base. It’s especially good on broccoli soup, potato leek soup, or lentil soup, where the onion-like flavor of the garlic chive and the peppery kick from the China Rose radish microgreens enhance the soup’s depth of flavour. They can also work well in miso soup or vegetable broths, where their freshness adds vibrancy to the dish.
