ey honed in on microgreens – "baby versions"
of larger, mature vegetables – and got to work
developing a whopping eight different varieties.
"ey taste just like the bigger version, and they
are extremely easy to use," Keith said. "e flavor
profile you get is fantastic."
Instead of slicing and dicing large vegetables,
for example, customers can toss a handful of
microgreen sprouts on sandwiches, into soups,
and throughout an endless variety of their
favorite dishes.
"Since they're so new, a lot people haven't tried
them," Keith explained. "e thing we hear the
most is that people just can't believe the flavor they
get. You watch their faces when the try them and
they just go, 'Wow! is is amazing!'"
Montana Fresh currently produces eight varieties
of microgreens – traditional radish, purple radish,
purple stem radish, sunflower, wasabi cabbage,
basic salad mix, spicy salad mix, and peas – which
are available in Great Falls at 2Js and Pizazz.
e crew also handles some direct-to-consumer
sales for local customers, and the Nourish food
truck uses Montana Fresh microgreens in many
of its dishes.
"We're really just geing rolling," Keith said,
noting that they hope to branch out to other
retailers and communities in the near future.
