Farming Turtles offers several varieties of baby greens wholesale to restaurants and specialty distributors.
Baby greens are larger than microgreens, but are
actually younger when harvested.  They have their own special characteristics that make them favorites among fine chefs.
•

Sunflower greens have the nutty flavor of tiny sunflower seeds with the juicy crunch of a salad green.  They are wonderful in salads, on sandwiches, as a side-dish, or added to stir fries – you can cook them!

•

Snow pea shoots taste like snow peas from the
vine, but are so much more versatile.  Use them
in sandwiches, as a garnish, in stir fries, or as part
of your salad.
•

Daikon and China Rose Radish are both packed
with spice and crunch.  They have delicate green leaves, but Daikon’s stem is white and China Rose’s stem is pink.  Our newest addition, Purple Daikon,
has beautiful purple stems and leaves.  All three are used most often as a garnish, but can be used on sandwiches in place of mustard or onions as well.

Broccoli greens are famous for their cancer-fighting properties, but are beautiful and tasty too.  They are wonderful in sandwiches, in salads, or as garnishes just like our other baby greens.
Don’t cook these, though, they are too delicate to withstand the heat!
• Wheatgrass is not really a baby green, but a grass, loaded with nutritious enzymes which make
it the most powerful of all our products. However, do not use wheatgrass as a food item. Our stomachs cannot digest the blades of grass.  Wheatgrass should be juiced (using a special modified meat grinder) and consumed in 1-2 ounce servings.  We do recommend using wheatgrass for its beautiful decorative value, as a centerpiece or as a fresh arrangement on your coffee table.  Not to mention, wheatgrass is one of the healthiest pet treats in the world, and Farming Turtles also grows live wheat grass treats called Pet Salad.
