Nought. Micro greens are a bag o' wank as far as I'm concerned. Might as well have a proper portion of real green veg.

 

Edit. That was just a kids growing kit, Cress hair egg head idea, a stocking filler.

 

Just FYI, microgreens and sprouted grains are incredibly nutrient-dense. They do offer more, gram-for-gram, than the equivalent weight or volume of their grown-up counterparts.

Yeah, I know. It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment, it's more the super foods, fashion goods thing thats my beef!

What is the most fashionable super vegetable at the moment? 

How long until the wheel is back on Jerusalem artichokes? 

[sime42]

Looks like I struck lucky with the celeriac and beetroot. You too with the Jerusalem artichokes, though they have got a much cooler name now apparently.

Safer than jewchokes.

Funfact: the Jerusalem refers not to the Jewish city or indeed its people, but a butterflisation of "girasole" or "turn to the sun", given their little sunflower-like blooms.

Sunflower artichokes. Sunchokes.

So it's a jewish city is it?

[AHPP]

CAREFUL!

I suppose so, it's definitely swapped hands a few times, but I think it can safely be said to have been founded by the people of David (or is it Judah? Which of the sons was supposed to have been the head honcho of all the tribes? Or am I misremembering the whole show?).

 

I wonder what the Jews or the Arabs or anyone else down there does with their artichokes... they'd probably puree well with garlic, lemon, and tahini, obviously...

Oppressor.
