Go Organic This Thanksgiving: Add Micro-Greens to Your Holiday Menu

It is Election Day across the land, so hopefully you are getting out and voting for your picks for local and state representatives. But for right now, let's talk about Thanksgiving. It is actually only 3 weeks from this Thursday! That means families across the US are already considering what their holiday menu will consist of. Of course, the majority of us will have turkey, and dressing, and all those delicious sides, family favorites. I have an idea for something to add to this year's Thanksgiving menu, and that is micro-greens.

Loveland Microgreens from Loveland Farms in Florida, whose motto is 'plant to plate', has a great variety of microgreens available to order online. They ship overnight for ultimate freshness.

Here is an image of the Mild Blend from Loveland Microgreens. You will recieve a 3.0 oz vacuum-sealed container, a blend of mizuno, kale, kohlrabi, and cabbage. Just think of the impression you will make on your guest at Thanksgiving when they see these awesome, organic and healthy micro-greens on the salad you serve them! There is also arugula, basil, broccoli mix, and a spicy blend available to order.

Here is also the link to a great blog post from Keep it in The Pantry with recipe ideas for micro-greens. How about serving your overnight Thanksgiving guest an Open-Faced Egg, Asparagus, and Micro-green sandwich for breakfast before they head home after the holiday? They won't soon forget the special care you took to make their trip back home a memorable one and one with their belly full, healthy and happy. YUM!



Aren't the holidays the best? I don't know about you but part of how I live a natural, organic lifestyle is making sure I get to spend quality time over the holidays with the people I care about the most. Sustenance for the soul, for sure.
