Arugula Microgreens

Arugula Microgreens are cut fresh at our Lineville, Alabama farm and packed live for maximum flavor and nutrient density. Microgreens deliver concentrated flavor and nutrients in a tiny leaf - perfect for salads, sandwiches, bowls, and garnish. Available in 2 oz and 4 oz clamshells, cut fresh to order.

• Grown in: Lineville, Alabama (no synthetic pesticides)
• Freshness: Harvested at peak and sold fresh
• Availability: Seasonal - local Alabama delivery & pickup
• Storage: Refrigerate and enjoy fresh
• Why it's good: Nutrient-dense and picked at peak freshness

• Storage: Sealed clamshell in the crisper, 34-40°F, away from the fridge fan
• Shelf life: 7 to 10 days with the pepper softening a little over that time
• Washing: No need unless you want to - these are cut above the soil line and come clean. If you do rinse, spin thoroughly and eat the same day.
• Using: Treat it as a condiment rather than a salad base. A small handful over pizza as it leaves the oven, folded into pasta off the heat, or on a sandwich where you would otherwise reach for mustard.

Is it hotter than mature arugula?
Yes, noticeably. The peppery compounds are concentrated in the young tissue, so a small handful carries the punch of a much larger pile of full-grown leaves. Use roughly a third of what a recipe asks for.

Does the heat fade in the fridge?
Gradually. Arugula micros are at their sharpest in the first three or four days and mellow toward the end of the week. Both stages are good, just different.

Can I cook with it?
Only residual heat. Scattered on hot pizza or stirred through pasta off the burner it wilts and sweetens. In a pan it goes to nothing in seconds.

Where is it grown?
On our farm in Lineville, Alabama, cut fresh and sold through local delivery, pickup and farmers markets.
