What microgreens come in the Collegeville Sampler?
Four of our most-loved varieties: Sunnies (Sunflower), Sweet Pea Shoots, Broccoli, and Daikon Radish. Each is selected to give first-time buyers a balanced introduction to flavors, textures, and nutritional profiles.
Why these four varieties specifically?
These four cover the full microgreen flavor spectrum: Sunnies bring nutty crunch and complete protein, Sweet Pea Shoots bring sweet fresh flavor and 20% protein, Broccoli brings mild cruciferous flavor with up to 100x more sulforaphane than mature broccoli, and Daikon Radish brings a gentle peppery bite milder than spicy radish. Together they teach your palate the range of microgreen possibility.
Is the Collegeville Sampler a good gift?
Yes. At $20 for over $35 of value, the Collegeville Sampler is the most popular gift we sell. Perfect for someone curious about microgreens but unsure where to start, for new customers exploring their preferences, and for hosts who want to elevate a dinner party with restaurant-quality greens.
How long do the microgreens in the Sampler last?
Most varieties last 2 to 3 weeks refrigerated in a sealed container at 38 to 40 °F. Use the Daikon Radish within the first 10 days for peak peppery flavor. Sunnies, Sweet Pea Shoots, and Broccoli all hold for the full 2 to 3 weeks.
How do I use four different varieties at once?
The easiest way is the Ultimate Sampler Power Salad recipe above, which combines all four in one bowl. Otherwise, treat each variety like its own ingredient: Sunnies as a salad base, Broccoli in smoothies and on eggs, Sweet Pea Shoots wilt-in for pasta and stir-fries, Daikon Radish on tacos and sushi. Three to five days of mix-and-match meals from one $20 order.
Can I get this Sampler delivered?
Yes. microGREEN FX delivers the Collegeville Sampler free across Southeast Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, Delaware, Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery counties. Order online or pick one up Saturday morning at the Upper Merion Farmers Market in King of Prussia.
What if I do not like one of the varieties?
Most people who try the Sampler tell us they liked at least three of the four. If a variety is not for you, that is exactly the point of the Sampler, to find out before you commit to a full subscription. We are happy to swap a variety on future orders based on what you learned from the Sampler.
Are these the same varieties as other microgreen brands?
The species are common (sunflower, pea, broccoli, daikon) but the seed quality, growing soil, and harvest timing are not. We grow in our own MicroThrive living soil blend, pesticide-free, in Schwenksville, SE Pennsylvania. We harvest the morning of delivery instead of days or weeks in advance, which is why our greens last 2 to 3 weeks fresh instead of the 4 to 7 days of supermarket microgreens.
Can I order the Sampler more than once?
Yes. Many customers order the Sampler weekly while they figure out their favorites. The discount holds for repeat Sampler orders, and we never restrict it to a single purchase.
How big is each variety portion in the Sampler?
Each variety comes in its own clamshell or bag, sized to give you enough to use in 3 to 5 meals per variety. Total weight across the four varieties is more than 8 ounces, which is why the full retail value exceeds $35.
