Spicy Microgreens Salad Mix (Container)

Six exceptional microgreens, united by a shared love of heat, depth, and bold character — our Spicy Microgreens Salad Mix is for those who want their nutrition to come with a kick. Building on the clean, green foundation of our Classic Mix, this blend adds the fierce, wasabi-like intensity of spicy oriental mustard to take things to a whole new level. The result is a mix that is layered, complex, and thrillingly alive — mild brassica sweetness from the kohlrabi and cabbage, deep earthy richness from the Waltham broccoli and Lacinato kale, a peppery bite from the arugula, and then the bold, aromatic heat of the oriental mustard cutting through it all. Every container is a little different — a living snapshot of what’s at its best on the farm that day.

Unlike hydroponically grown microgreens, ours are grown in real, living soil — the way nature intended. Soil growing allows the roots to access a complex ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms, minerals, and organic matter that simply cannot be replicated in water-based systems. The result is microgreens with deeper nutritional complexity, better flavour, and the kind of biological richness that only comes from good soil biology. Grown to organic practices in our farm’s controlled growing environment — no pesticides, no synthetic inputs — each container is cut fresh to order.

What’s in the mix:

• Waltham Broccoli — clean, green, and mildly earthy; one of the most sulforaphane-rich varieties of broccoli microgreen available
• Lacinato Kale — deep, savoury, and slightly sweet; richer and less bitter than curly kale, packed with vitamins K, A, and C
• Red Acre Cabbage — mild, sweet, and tender with beautiful purple-tinged stems; rich in anthocyanin antioxidants
• Kohlrabi — delicately sweet and mildly turnip-like; a gentle, crowd-pleasing flavour that balances the heat in the mix
• Spicy Oriental Mustard — intense, wasabi-like heat with complex Asian aromatic notes; the star of the show and the defining character of this blend
• Arugula — bold, peppery, and unmistakably distinctive; adds a second layer of heat and complexity that builds beautifully alongside the mustard

Why this mix is exceptional:

• Grown in real living soil — not hydroponics — for maximum nutritional complexity and good soil biology
• Soil-grown roots access beneficial microorganisms and organic minerals unavailable in water-based systems
• Grown to organic practices — no pesticides or synthetic inputs, without formal certification
• Six complementary varieties delivering layered heat, depth, and a broad spectrum of nutrients in one container
• Exceptionally rich in glucosinolates, sulforaphane, and anthocyanins — some of the most studied plant compounds for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity
• Collectively rich in vitamins K, C, A, and E, folate, calcium, and iron
• Harvested at peak nutritional density — 7–14 days old, when concentration of nutrients is at its highest
• Harvested fresh at The Nourish Acres farm — maximum freshness, minimum food miles
• Ready to eat straight from the container — no washing required

Ways to enjoy:

• Tossed through salads as a bold, nutrient-dense green base with serious character
• Scattered over grain bowls, avocado toast, and poached eggs for heat and nutrition
• Layered into sandwiches, wraps, and burgers where you’d use rocket or watercress
• Used as a garnish over soups, tacos, sushi, and Asian noodle dishes
• Blended sparingly into green juices and smoothies for a peppery, nutrient-dense boost
