Calling Chefs of the World Who Excel: More Summer Microgreen Hits from Fresh Origins! Meet Micro Miner’s Lettuce & Hibiscus Flower, and Know that Elder Flowers and Elderberries are now in season! Celebrate Summer with Fresh Origins Microgreens to Enhance All that You Eat!

Hibiscus Flower!
We always want to meet a brand that excels.  Fresh Origins not only consistently pursues excellence, but also innovates and creates new products to remain at the top of their field.
We've worked with Fresh Origins for years, and their commitment to the best in microgreens is unparalleled!  They tell us they've
 been building their stock of these colorful hibiscus flowers for the past few years and are finally ready to offer them. They make a beautiful addition to a salad or any tropical dish. The cup-shaped ones can be stuffed with crab meat for an exotic amuse-bouche. The petals may be separated and used individually for visually exciting presentation. These flowers are neutral in flavor.
Micro Miner's Lettuce!
Micro Miner’s Lettuce is their latest Microgreen. It is also known as Claytonia and has a very mild fresh grassy, spinach-like flavor. Often found growing in the woods in moist, shady spots near ferns, Micro Miner's Lettuce is high in vitamin C (33 % RDA), vitamin A (22% RDA), Iron (10% RDA), 37.1% protein and 12.4% fiber.
FEATURED ITEM OF THE MONTH!
Elder Flowers and Elderberries are now in season.
