Truly a gorgeous signature item of Fresh Origins Farm in San Marcos, California, glorious PetiteGreen Season’s Mix™ is a very impressive colorful blend of most all of Fresh Origins‘ locally grown PetiteGreens and fresh greens. Not only luscious eye candy, complementary flavors are combined that absolutely delight the palate.
PetiteGreens are heartier, offer more flavor and are harvested much larger than MicroGreens. PetiteGreens are the next step beyond MicroGreens when it comes to color, texture and taste. Nutritious PetiteGreens are cut when they are about three to five inches tall and about four to six weeks after planting. Larger than MicroGreens but smaller than baby greens, PetiteGreens are used mainly for fresh eating. As an edible garnish or added to fresh salads as a flavor accent, PetiteGreens are never tough or bitter, unlike mature cooking greens and herbs.
Offering exceptional color, texture and height, PetiteGreens contribute overall flavor and a very striking presentation. Favored by chefs for culinary versatility, PetiteGreens add a sophisticated touch to entrées, appetizers, crudités, hors d’oeuvres, hot or cold beverages, cocktails and desserts which definitely adds gourmet glamour to the fine dining experience.
Specifically grown for fresh eating, striking PetiteGreen Season’s Mix™ adds a flavor combination that makes the taste buds stand up and take notice. Drizzled with light vinaigrette or balsamic vinegar dressing, this lovely mix turns into a taste sensation. As a substitute for the superb goodness of PetiteGreen Season’s Mix™, choose PetiteGreen Primavera Mix™ or PetiteGreen Asian Mix. Create your very own flavorful blend by combining several varieties of premium PetiteGreens. The flavors of red amaranth, purple mustard and cinnamon basil are especially compatible. To store, refrigerate in a sealed container. Use promptly for optimum freshness.
Start spreading the news that Fresh Origins Farm at San Marcos, California, owned and operated by David Sasuga, has a reputation for an outstanding selection of locally grown edible PetiteGreens and MicroGreens.
PetiteGreens are especially creating quite a buzz among chefs. Chefs praise the consistent quality and freshness of these truly remarkable versatile greens. Over grown microgreens are sometimes marketed by growers as Petites but Fresh Origins Farm’s PetiteGreens require an entirely different growing process than their MicroGreens. Fresh Origins Farm’s PetiteGreens are grown much differently than MicroGreens, resulting in superior form, color, flavor and uniform size. Overgrown MicroGreens may be less expensive but they tend to be stringy, too soft, not uniform in size and have a reduced shelf life and lack of flavor. Supplying area restaurants daily and year round with top quality PetiteGreens, Specialty Produce emphatically supports our local growers and farming industry. PetiteGreen Season’s Mix™ is available year-round!
