Carrot Cress

Carrot Cress is a flavorful addition to our living microgreens category that encapsulates the sweet, earthy flavor of carrots in a tiny, tender form. Their feathery fronds pack a punch of subtle sweetness, reminiscent of mature carrots, but with a lighter, more refreshing twist.

Unlike larger carrot roots, the flavor of Carrot Cress is less intense, making it a perfect addition to a wide variety of dishes. Its vibrant green color adds both beauty and flavor, making it a versatile choice for chefs and home cooks alike. The tender texture and delicate sweetness make Carrot Cress a must-try for chefs seeking fresh, flavorful microgreens to brighten up their plates.

Carrot Cress works wonderfully as a garnish, adding a fresh and visually appealing touch to everything from roasted proteins and grilled vegetables to salads and sandwiches. The sweet and earthy flavor of the microgreen complements rich and savory dishes, making it a great addition to meat and seafood platters.

Use this microgreen with roasted halibut, where the subtle sweetness pairs beautifully with the richness of the fish. In dessert applications, Carrot Cress enhances carrot cake with its mild, sweet flavor. Its versatility also extends to being added to soups, grain bowls, or used as a topping for pizzas and wraps.

Carrot Cress offer a variety of nutritional benefits and are a great addition to any diet. They are packed with essential vitamins, including vitamin A (from beta-carotene), which is crucial for good vision and immune function. They also provide vitamin K, which supports blood clotting and bone health.

They also contain dietary fiber, which aids digestion, supports healthy blood sugar levels, and can help lower cholesterol. They are also rich in antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect the eyes from conditions like macular degeneration.

Other key nutrients include potassium, calcium, folate, and various amino acids that support overall health and muscle repair. The high antioxidant content in this living microgreen can also help protect the body from chronic diseases.

Our living microgreens, Carrot Cress, are grown and distributed in clean, natural fiber and come in a cress tray to ensure their longevity and freshness. Keep them in a cool place, either on the kitchen counter or in the refrigerator, to maintain optimal quality.
