Fresh pesticide-free organic carrot microgreens from microGREEN FX in SE Pennsylvania

All the Carrot, None of the Wait 🥕

A mature carrot takes 70-80 days to grow. Our carrot microgreens deliver concentrated carrot flavor in just 14-18 days. The taste is sweet, earthy, and unmistakably carrot. Close your eyes and you'd think you were biting into a fresh garden carrot.

What makes carrot microgreens truly special is their vitamin diversity. They contain vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, along with important minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. Very few foods pack this many nutrients into such a small package.

The delicate, feathery green tops are tender and easy to eat raw. They look beautiful as a garnish and taste incredible in salads.

"What if one tiny leaf could give you more vitamins than an entire carrot stick?" 🤔

FOR CHEFS & SERIOUS COOKS

How Working Chefs Use Carrot Microgreens

Concentrated carrot flavor in feathery green form, plus a six-vitamin nutrient profile. Carrot microgreens are one of the most flavor-stacking microgreens we grow, useful from juice bars to fine-dining plates.

🍜

Carrot-on-Carrot Soup Crown

The canonical carrot soup presentation in fine dining: roasted carrot soup base, with a tall crown of fresh carrot microgreens floating on top. Layers the carrot flavor and adds the feathery visual that separates restaurant plating from home cooking.

🥖

Hummus, Dip, and Tartine Green

Blended into carrot hummus, smeared on tartines under roasted carrot slices, folded into goat cheese spreads, used as the green flecks in a carrot-tahini dip. Carrot microgreens work where parsley or chives might, but with concentrated carrot flavor.

🦆

Plated Protein Garnish

Roasted duck breast, lamb chops, seared scallops, pan-roasted halibut. The sweet earthy carrot flavor lifts the protein without competing. The feathery shape adds visual height. Add at the pass, never in the pan.

🧃

Juice Bar Featured Variety

Carrot microgreens deliver the concentrated carrot flavor that mature carrots build slowly over 70-80 days, in a microgreen that takes 14-18 days. Juice bars use them to boost vitamin and beta-carotene density in cold-pressed juices without needing pounds of mature carrots.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE

How Long Do Carrot Microgreens Last?

2 to 3 weeks refrigerated in a sealed container at 38 to 40 °F. Up to three times longer than most retail microgreens, because we harvest the morning of delivery.

❄️

Refrigerate Immediately

Place the clamshell or bag in the crisper drawer the moment they arrive. The feathery green tops bruise easily, so handle gently.

💨

Seal With a Paper Towel

Lay a dry paper towel underneath if transferring. Wicks moisture, keeps the feathery tops crisp and bright through the full 3 weeks.

🌡️

Add at the Table

Heat above 158 °F destroys the beta-carotene and the carrot aroma. Add raw at the end of cooking or as a final garnish, never in the pan.

Pro tip: juice a fresh batch with apple and ginger around day 10 to extend the carrot flavor into a morning juice for the second half of the fridge life.
