Industry Insider Tip

“Packing a punch bigger than their size, mustard microgreens are no novice when it comes to taking savory dishes to the next level! Known as strong antioxidants, mustard microgreens are also dense with potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin E. They are a great addition to soups and sandwiches, as well as a great way to spice up salads!”

Easy Meal Prep
