Tiny Greens, Big Impact: The Magic of Microgreens 🌱

Written by Your Friends at RAD Farm

Welcome to RAD Farm! We're passionate about bringing the incredible world of microgreens to your table. These remarkable little plants have captured our hearts with their amazing flavors and impressive nutritional benefits. We started RAD Farm because we believe everyone should have access to these nutritional powerhouses.

Understanding Microgreens

Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are harvested just after the first leaves have developed. While small in size, they deliver intense flavors and concentrated nutrients - containing up to 40 times more vitamins and minerals than their mature counterparts.

Each variety offers its own unique flavor profile, from the gentle sweetness of pea shoots to the pleasant pepper notes of radish greens. They're versatile enough to enhance any dish while adding both nutrition and visual appeal.
