Our mouth-watering combination of rambo radish, red cabbage, spring onion, and broccoli microgreens creates a vibrant and flavourful mix that balances spicy, earthy, crunchy, and slightly sweet notes. Each microgreen brings its own unique flavour and texture, resulting in a blend that is both bold and refreshing. Here is a quick breakdown of each:
Rambo radish microgreens: These are spicy and peppery, with a bold, radish-like flavour that brings an immediate kick. They provide a sharp crunch and a bit of heat, making them the most assertive flavour in the mix.
Red cabbage microgreens: These add a mildly earthy, sweet, and slightly peppery flavour. They have a delicate crunch and contribute a touch of nutty sweetness, which helps to balance the heat from the radish microgreens.
Spring onion microgreens: These offer a milder onion flavour, with a subtle sharpness that’s fresher and less pungent than mature onions. Their slightly sweet and herbaceous taste complements the spicier notes of the radish, adding a light, crisp bite.
Broccoli microgreens: These bring an earthy, mustardy, and slightly bitter flavour, with a more subtle heat. They offer a crisp, tender texture that adds freshness and a balance to the intensity of the radishes and onions.
Together, these microgreens form a dynamic and well-rounded flavour profile, with a blend of crispness, earthiness, and zesty heat, making them an exciting addition to a wide variety of dishes.

A lemon-tahini dressing or mustard vinaigrette complements the flavours nicely.

5. Grilled Meats and Fish
These microgreens are fantastic as a garnish for grilled meats such as chicken, beef, or pork, as well as grilled fish like salmon or tuna.
