That’s Tasty Organic Microgreens are the perfect garnish for a variety of dishes. That’s Tasty offer a variety of flavors such as Italian Inspired, All‐American, Mexican Fiesta, Asian Zing, and Veggie Blend. Each blend is made up of little leafy greens that pack an excellent taste, texture and visual appeal into your meals. I picked up the Veggie Blend and Mexican Fiesta blend to complement our planned meals for the week.
We first tried the Mexican Fiesta blend with tacos and they were very delicious and unlike what we traditionally do. The fiesta blend consisted of purple kohlrabi, radish, and cilantro, all organically grown and harvested here in America. In my household we rarely eat beef, so we substitute with ground chicken that we locally purchase and season it. Typically, we top our tacos with lettuce, tomato, cheese and taco sauce, but decided to try the microgreens instead of lettuce. The powerful taste of the cilantro made that a much healthier option by allowing us to skip the taco sauce. I personally loved the texture, and overall it was my favorite of the two blends. I could see adding these as toppings to any Mexican dish from burritos to fajitas, or even lightly garnishing enchiladas.
Next, we tried was the Veggie Blend, which consisted of pea
shoots, broccoli, amaranth and kale for a classic taste that could go with any
meal. The texture, taste and smell were that of earthy greens that my boyfriend
said reminded him of grass. However, I loved the bold taste and felt it gave
our veggie burgers that extra flavor they've been missing. I found other uses
with this blend by making a salad, garnishing soup, adding to chicken or to
wrap sandwiches.
Overall, I did find that these were somewhat expensive, and only being a household of two, we would need to plan our meals carefully in order not to waste them. Just like with any fresh green, these have a short shelf life and expire fairly quickly. For example, if you are planning to use these just for one meal it would be a waste, as even with our taco dinner consisting of 4-5 tacos we only used about 25% of the product. However, with meal preparation for the week, we were easily able to get creative and put each blend to good use, not only boosting the taste of our meals but finding ways to eat healthier.
