How to use Micro Leaves

MICRO LEAVES or MICRO GREENS are tiny, tiny vegetables, no more than 8 to 14 days old, having just developed their first leaves. They are very tender but have both intense and delicate flavour and they taste, not surprisingly, like a smaller version of what they will be when they grow up. Studies have shown that Micro Leaves can have up to 40 times the nutrients of their mature “big vegetable” counterparts! Naturally high in quality protein, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants, they have few calories and no cholesterol. In addition, they are visually captivating! It is no wonder chefs have made them an indispensable part of their cuisine. Why not make them a natural part of home cooking as well! Below are a few suggestions on how we, here at Dawndew Salad, incorporate these magical greens into our daily meals. Use MICRO LEAVES on their own, in salads, in main dishes and as general garnishes:
