Microgreen - Wheatgrass (CONVENTIONAL)

Wheatgrass microgreens have a strong, grassy, and slightly sweet flavor. The taste is often described as being similar to fresh-cut grass with a hint of sweetness. It can be quite intense and somewhat earthy, which is why wheatgrass is often consumed in small amounts, such as in juice shots or added to smoothies, to balance the flavor.
