How to Eat Microgreens: 10 Simple Ideas

🌱 Introduction: Why Microgreens Belong in Your Everyday Meals

If you’ve ever wondered how to eat microgreens, you’re not alone. These tiny, nutrient-dense greens are popping up everywhere — from restaurant plates to smoothie bowls — and for good reason. Microgreens pack more flavor and up to 40x more nutrients than their mature counterparts, making them a smart, delicious addition to almost any dish.

At NZ Robinson Farms, we grow 15 premium varieties of microgreens every week — all harvested within 24 hours of delivery and grown right here in Atlanta. Whether you’re a wellness junkie, meal prepper, or just looking for a fresh way to boost your meals, here are 10 easy ways to start eating microgreens every day.

🥑 1. On Top of Avocado Toast

Let’s start with a classic. Add a handful of radish, sunflower, or mustard microgreens on top of your smashed avocado toast. The crisp, peppery bite of radish microgreens balances the creamy avocado beautifully — while adding color and crunch.

Bonus Tip: Squeeze a little lemon and sprinkle hemp seeds for extra fiber and flavor.

🍳 2. Folded Into Scrambled Eggs or Omelets

Microgreens in eggs? Yes, and it’s delicious. Toss a small handful of broccoli, kale, or beet microgreens into your eggs just before they finish cooking. They’ll slightly wilt without losing their punch — and boost your morning with added vitamins A, C, and K.

🥗 3. Tossed Into Salads

Want to upgrade your salad game? Replace or mix in microgreens like arugula, mizuna, or lettuce mix with your usual greens. Their strong flavor means you don’t need heavy dressings — just olive oil, lemon juice, and maybe a sprinkle of sea salt.

Pro tip: Microgreens make even a 3-ingredient salad look gourmet.

🥙 4. Inside Wraps, Pitas, or Tacos

Swap out shredded lettuce for crunchy sunflower, cabbage, or collard microgreens in your wraps or tacos. They hold texture better and give a fresh, clean bite that complements meats, tofu, and spreads.

🥤 5. Blended Into Smoothies

If you’re aiming for more greens without the bitter taste of kale or spinach, try adding broccoli, mung bean, or sunflower microgreens to your smoothie.

Here’s a simple microgreen smoothie combo:

• 1 banana

• ½ cup frozen mango

• ½ cup almond milk

• 1 handful of broccoli microgreens

• Optional: chia seeds or protein powder

Don’t worry — you won’t taste the greens, but your body will thank you.

🥪 6. Layered in Sandwiches or Burgers

Skip the limp iceberg. Add mustard, radish, or basil microgreens to your sandwich or burger for bold flavor and a satisfying crunch. Chefs love using them for their visual appeal and balance of spice and freshness.

🍲 7. As a Garnish for Soups and Bowls

Top any warm bowl — soup, stew, or grain bowl — with a pinch of microgreens like kohlrabi, cilantro, or beet. They act like fresh herbs but with added nutrients and more visual flair.

Example: Add cilantro microgreens to a black bean soup or beet microgreens to a lentil bowl.

🍕 8. On Pizza (After Baking)

Sprinkle arugula, basil, or kale microgreens over your pizza after it comes out of the oven. The heat softens them just enough, and they add brightness and texture without getting soggy like traditional greens.

Perfect pairings: basil on margherita, mustard greens on pepperoni, or arugula on white pizza.

🧆 9. In Buddha Bowls or Grain Bowls

Whether it’s quinoa, brown rice, or lentils — adding microgreens to your bowl boosts the fiber, vitamins, and visual appeal. Try sunflower, mizuna, or cabbage microgreens layered next to roasted veggies or hummus.

🧀 10. On Charcuterie Boards or Appetizers

Hosting guests? Garnish your appetizer plates or charcuterie boards with colorful microgreens like beet, radish, or kohlrabi. Not only do they elevate the presentation, but they also complement cheeses, olives, and smoked meats with a fresh, slightly spicy edge.

🧠 Bonus: Why Microgreens Are So Good for You

Microgreens aren’t just pretty — they’re packed with nutrients like:

• Vitamin C

• Vitamin K

• Beta-carotene

• Iron

• Magnesium

• Plant-based protein (especially in sunflower and mung bean greens)

They support immunity, digestion, healthy skin, and even cognitive function. And because they’re harvested young, they retain more nutrients than store-bought greens that sit on shelves for days or weeks.
