This item is grown to order and requires a longer 4 week lead time due to its slow growth rate. We will grow a 10"x10" tray of these micros which we will cut and package for you when they are ready.
History:
Celery originated as a wild herb native to the Mediterranean and was first cultivated for its culinary use around 1623 in France. Early varieties were bitter and primarily used as a flavoring, but selective breeding in Europe, particularly in Italy, France, and England, eventually led to milder, fleshier stalks used in salads and as a centerpiece. It was introduced to America by colonists, becoming a prized vegetable that was eventually mass-produced.
Flavor Profile:
Celery microgreens have an intense, concentrated celery flavor that is both bright and vegetal, with added notes of earthiness, slight bitterness, and a clean, peppery finish. They offer a crunchier texture than mature celery, without the tough strings.
Uses:
Celery microgreens are used in culinary applications like salads, sandwiches, and soups for their intense, fresh celery flavor without the tough strings of mature stalks. They can also be blended into smoothies, juices, or pesto, used as a garnish for various dishes, or incorporated into dips and other recipes.
Nutrition:
Celery microgreens are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, and E, and minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc.
Vitamins: A, B (complex), C, and E
Minerals: Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc
Other: Amino acids, antioxidants, and dietary fiber
Health Benefits:
Celery microgreens are nutrient-dense, offering benefits like antioxidant protection, immune system support, and improved digestive health due to their high concentration of vitamins (A, C, E, K), minerals (potassium, iron, calcium), and fiber. They may also help with cardiovascular health by supporting healthy blood pressure and contain anti-inflammatory compounds.
Rich in nutrients: Celery microgreens contain high levels of vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as minerals like potassium, iron, calcium, and magnesium.
Antioxidant protection: They are packed with antioxidants, such as flavonoids, that help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, which can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Immune system support: The high vitamin C content in microgreens is crucial for a healthy immune system.
Digestive health: The fiber in celery microgreens promotes a healthy gut microbiome and can aid digestion.
Cardiovascular support: Compounds in celery microgreens may help relax blood vessels, contributing to healthy blood pressure levels. The potassium and iron content also support heart health.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Some studies suggest that microgreens may have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, which is linked to various chronic diseases.
