Cilantro Microgreens
I'm a little obsessed with these right now. They are a pain to harvest, but have such an amazing flavor.

sugardetoxme 8yr How do you harvest them? Just a sharp pair of scissors snipping away? -
olivettefarm 8yr @sugardetoxme we use sharp harvest knives. They're a little easier to move around in the trays. Same knives we use for lettuce and other leafy greens.
These tiny plants pack a huge flavor.
Red Russian Kale, Napa Cabbage, radish micro, dill and Tuscan Kale. These are all from thinning out our seedlings in the greenhouse. I always love making salads off of our thinnings #nofoodwaste

DietID_TeamDietitians Does "thinning" In farming mean the same thing as "thinning" when you get a haircut? Maybe a dumb question, but I don't know!
-
olivettefarm @Rachna pretty similar! Sometimes when we seed in the greenhouse we accidentally drop multiple seeds into a cell. There's not enough room in each cell for multiple seeds to grow healthy before...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Ohh so interesting!!!! I can't wait to come down to visit
Baby bok choy in the greenhouse. How do you like to use it?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians toppings for a sandwich for sure. Also - wait till you see our new stickers =)
-
olivettefarm @Rachna can't wait to see them!
-
sugardetoxme Baby got Bok? 😝
Leeks doing their morning stretches.
Our little leeks are happy in the greenhouse. It's easy to forget that the giant leeks you're used to start out more like a blade of grass.

JenniferDoscher Awww Do they get lullabies at night? 😊💖 Maybe "God's Chorus" of crickets, by Jim Wilson?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yay!!!
-
olivettefarm @JenniferDoscher haha - yep! Bedtime stories every night. Gotta keep them happy.
Amaranth Microgreens
A study found that amaranth micros have 4-6 times more nutrients than their full grown counterparts. They have a flavor very similar to beet micros, just a bit more mild.
