Nutritional Value

Applications
Micro Rainbow Mix™ is best suited for raw applications as their delicate texture cannot withstand high heat preparations. The flavor of the mix offers a mild and pleasant balance of earthy, bitter, spicy, and sweet, and they are most commonly served fresh as a garnish and can be used in both appetizers and main dishes. They can also be sprinkled on top of meat, salads, roasted vegetables, placed in sandwiches, and served over soup, stew, curry, or stir-fry. Micro Rainbow Mix™ pairs well with seafood, meats such as poultry, pork, beef, and lamb, fruits such as strawberries, apples, persimmons, blueberries, and peaches, heirloom tomatoes, squash, beans, peas, broccoli, onions, garlic, and soft cheeses. They will keep 5-7 days when stored unwashed, in a sealed container, and in the refrigerator.

Micro Rainbow Mix™ is also commonly used as a salad green or garnish at catering events because they are compatible with many flavors and can be easily used on a high volume of plates quickly and efficiently.
Geography/History
