Nasturtium Microgreens

Visual Appearance: Nasturtium microgreens have delicate, round leaves with a vibrant green color, sometimes with tinges of purple or red depending on the variety. The leaves are smaller and may have a unique, almost shield-like shape with slight scalloping around the edges. They are visually striking, making them a popular garnish.

Flavor: Nasturtium microgreens are known for their bold, peppery taste, similar to watercress or radish, with a slightly spicy, mustard-like kick. This makes them a popular choice for adding a sharp, tangy note to dishes.

Texture: These microgreens have a tender, slightly crisp texture. The leaves are soft and smooth, while the stems provide a mild crunch, adding a subtle bite to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.

Nutrients: Nasturtium microgreens are packed with nutrients. They contain vitamins A, C, and E, and are particularly high in vitamin C, which supports immune health. They also contain antioxidants, as well as beneficial minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. The high levels of glycosylates and flavonoids add anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, supporting overall health and potentially helping in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
