Red radish microgreens

Peppery, like a fresh red radish, with a clean finish. The heat comes first and fades quickly, so it wakes up a dish without burning.

They’re the most colourful green in the Super Pack. The magenta stems are the variety’s own colour, and they show up on any plate.

Scored 1 to 5, the way I describe each green to chefs.

Treat them like a seasoning that crunches. A pinch goes a long way, and they’re best raw.

• On tacosA pinch on fish, chicken or bean tacos, with a squeeze of lime.
• On avocado toastThe pepper balances the creamy avocado. Add salt and lemon.
• In noodlesOn cold sesame noodles or a bowl of ramen, added at the end.
• With eggsOn a breakfast sandwich or a plate of devilled eggs.
• In saladsMixed into a green salad when you want some heat without raw onion.
• Next to rich foodBeside a burger, a curry or anything creamy, where a little pepper helps.

It pairs well with pea shoots: the sweet pea softens the pepper on tacos or a bowl of noodles.

Put the box in the fridge as soon as it’s in. In the fridge, in the closed box, they stay fresh for up to 10 days. Keep them dry, and rinse them just before you eat them.

More tips are in my guide to storing and using microgreens.

A single pack is 50 g of red radish microgreens for $8, in a clear box. Red Radish is also one of the four greens in every Super Pack, beside broccoli, sunflower and pea shoots: 140 g for the whole box, $25 on its own or $20 a box on the weekly plan.

Delivery is included, no tax is added, and the minimum order for delivery is $20. Any three single packs reach the minimum, or add a Super Pack.

Harvested on Monday, weighed and packed in Richmond, and at your door on Tuesday, during the day, anywhere in Vancouver west of Knight Street. You don’t need to be home: I leave your box at your door.

Orders close at 8 pm on the Sunday before each Tuesday up to the Nov 24, 2026 box, and at 9 am on the Monday before each Tuesday from the Dec 1, 2026 box. Checkout shows your Tuesday before you pay.

Radish is in the same plant family as mustard. If you have a mustard allergy, ask your doctor before you eat it.

I pack every green in the same place, so any pack may have a trace of another green, mustard included.
