The small leaves average 5 to 7 centimeters in length and range in color from bright green, dark purple, to blends of both purple and green. The flat and pliable leaves may have some veining across the surface and can be round, oval, heart-shaped, long, or slender with smooth edges. Micro Rainbow Mix™ is crisp and tender with green, earthy flavors mixed with sweet and peppery notes.

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.

Geography/History
