Festive Flavors: Spice Up Your Selection
While everyone's dreaming of sugarplums, why not offer them a taste of something even better? Spice up your microgreen selection with festive flavors. Think beyond the standard broccoli and radish and introduce seasonal varieties like peppery arugula, colorful amaranth, and nutty sunflower shoots. These unique and visually appealing greens will not only add a pop of color to your market stall but also cater to customers looking to infuse some holiday spirit into their dishes.

'Tis the season of giving, and your microgreens should dress to impress. Upgrade your packaging to reflect the holiday spirit. Incorporate festive colors, ribbons, and even small decorative ornaments into your packaging design. The more gift-worthy your microgreens look, the more likely they are to end up under someone's Christmas tree or as a stocking stuffer.
