SPICY SALAD MIX

A BLEND OF

ARUGULA

RADISH

AND

MUSTARD

🌱 Nutritional Highlights

The Spicy Salad Mix brings together three cruciferous microgreens β€” arugula, radish, and mustard. Each one is rich in unique phytochemicals and glucosinolates that contribute to antioxidant defense, detoxification, and anti-inflammatory effects. This blend is especially high in compounds like glucoraphenin, sinigrin, and erucin, which have been linked to cancer prevention and cellular protection. Recent studies have shown:

  • Radish microgreens contain glucoraphenin (70–125 mg/100g) and vitamin C (80–120 mg/100g)

  • Mustard microgreens are particularly rich in sinigrin and kaempferol derivatives, offering both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits

  • Arugula microgreens are a good source of erucin, nitrates, and vitamin K, supporting cardiovascular and bone health

  • All three contribute to high total antioxidant capacity, averaging over 80% DPPH inhibition

πŸ§‘πŸ»β€πŸ³ Flavor & Best Use

Zesty, peppery, and bold β€” this mix brings the heat! Perfect for adding bite to salads, topping tacos or burgers, or tossing into a pasta salad for a flavorful kick. A great replacement for mustard greens or spicy lettuces.

🍽️ Suggested Serving Size

A typical serving of 20–40g (0.75–1.5 oz), or about 1 to 1Β½ cups of the Spicy Salad Mix, delivers a potent combination of detoxifying and antioxidant compounds. For consistent benefits, enjoy this mix 3–5 times per week. A container of our Spicy Salad Mix contains at least 57g (2 oz), meaning you should get 2 to 3 servings. This dietary suggestion is based on findings from Johnson et al., (2021).
