New microgreens and leafy greens just dropped off at Four Seasons! On deck this week for leafy greens, we have Curly Leaf, Kale, Bibb and Curly Leaf/Bibb Mix. For microgreen varieties, we have Pea Shoot, Mustard, Sunflower and Radish.

With so many food recalls going on in the US, it's nice to know where your food comes from! We have a dedicated, clean, indoor, hydroponic facility to ensure no pesticides, chemicals or runoff issues. Don't forget your leafy greens! Susan incorporates them daily into her diet! Javier Campos

We would like to introduce Sunflower Microgreens as our latest variety. Sunflower micros provide a complete protein source. They are also rich in Vitamin A, B Complex, C, E and K and are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. They have a nutty flavor with a nice bulk and a crunchy texture. They would make a great snack by themselves or can be used in salads, soups, wraps, sandwiches or smoothies.

Some of these beauties were just dropped off at Four Seasons! Let us know what you think! Javier Campos

The colorful world of Microgreens…each variety of color is an index of freshness, wholesomeness and quality

This week we are featuring the benefits of Pea Shoot Microgreens! Pea Shoot Microgreens taste fresh, just like peas from the garden. All of the microgreen is edible, including the longer stems. I usually roughly chop mine up before adding to salads, smoothies, as a topping for sandwiches or in stir fries. They can be eaten raw or cooked. The most potent nutrients in pea shoot microgreens are vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and potassium. They can be essential in many body processes and supporting heart health, boosting the immune system and aiding in detoxification. In addition to their nutritional value, pea shoot microgreens are also a great source of fiber.

We just dropped off fresh Pea Shoot Microgreens at Four Seasons Local market (in addition to Mustard, Kale and Radish varieties). Four Seasons currently has construction going on in front of their building on S Washington Street, but they are open during normal hours! I suggest turning on Pike Street (right before Chase Bank) and I've always had good luck finding parking on either side of the street.

Check out this recipe for Pea Shoot Pesto below.

Pea Shoot Pesto Recipe
3 cups pea shoots

3 large cloves garlic

½ -1 lemon, juiced about 2 tablespoons

½ cup pistachios, toasted (you can sub pine nuts or walnuts)

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tbsp olive oil, you can adjust the amount based on your liking

Salt, pepper to taste

Place the first 5 ingredients in a food processor and blend. Once blended, while the food processor is on, slowly pour in the olive oil. Taste as you go and add to your liking. Use the pesto right away or it will last up to 3 days in the fridge (if it lasts that long).
