Micro Toona Details

Micro Toona is a unique microgreen with a complex and evolving flavor profile that makes it a standout ingredient in many dishes. Initially, it presents a savory roasted garlic flavor with hints of earthy mushrooms, creating a warm, comforting taste.

As the flavor develops, subtle toasted nutty notes emerge, adding depth and richness to its overall character. The experience culminates in smoky, meaty undertones, giving Micro Toona a surprisingly robust and satisfying finish, which is uncommon for microgreens. These layers of flavor make it an excellent choice for adding richness to both vegetarian and meat-based dishes.

Recipes and Tips

Micro Toona can be used in a variety of creative and flavorful ways. Its complex umami and smoky flavor make it an excellent addition to stews and braised dishes, where it can lend richness to the overall flavor profile. When added to a vegetable stir-fry, it enhances the savory base, perfectly complementing the crunch of fresh vegetables. It also makes an interesting topping for pizzas, offering a depth of flavor that balances out the other ingredients, especially in vegetarian varieties.

For a lighter dish, Micro Toona can be sprinkled over fresh salads, particularly those with grilled meats or roasted vegetables. Its smoky, nutty finish adds a sophisticated edge, making the salad feel gourmet. It can also be blended into creamy sauces or dressings to infuse them with its complex flavor, creating a rich, savory base for pasta or grilled proteins.
