A Valentine's Day Showstopper: Amaranth Microgreens

Amaranth microgreens are a surefire way to captivate both hearts and taste buds!  Their bright pink and purplish hues naturally complement the romantic theme of Valentine’s Day, offering chefs and home cooks an irresistible ingredient for crafting dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

These tiny greens are not just a garnish but a testament to the artistry that can transform ordinary meals into festive, memorable experiences. Whether you're planning a romantic dinner for two or a grand celebration, consider making amaranth microgreens the star of your culinary show!

Early Planning and Year-Round Versatility

While amaranth microgreens are particularly alluring around Valentine’s Day, due to their bright pink color, their versatility extends beyond the seasonal popularity. Our ability to grow amaranth (and other specialty microgreens) year round, calls for some creative menu planning and marketing. 

Demand is high when it comes to products that so perfectly fit with holiday seasons and special event trends.  Since we can only harvest what we sow, communication about what you need and when you need it is important.  In fact: the earlier, the better!  After all, we want to meet your needs so you can whip up those amazing dishes we've come to expect from you!

Memorable Moments with Friends and Customers

Thinking of Amaranth Microgreens will always bring to mind, for Gail, a funny story about her and Luke's fun-loving friends Lynn and Eddie at Throop Soups.  Luke and Gail's introduction of amaranth microgreens there was nothing short of hilarious!

Lynn and Eddie's enthusiasm was palpable, especially when Lynn—in a moment of pure joy—flung these delightful pink microgreens into her hair and onto her neck and shoulder as she chowed down on her first bunch of amaranth from the Back Mountain Microgreens' grow room.

This moment shows that microgreens do more than just enhance a dish—amaranth microgreens were a big part of the beginning of Luke and Gail's relationship with Lynn and Eddie, and are the centerpiece of a memory that brings smiles and belly laughs every time we think of amaranth!  We love our customers for this exact reason!  When you buy Back Mountain Microgreens, you are not just a customer, you're a friend that we laugh and cry with, and that's the way we want it!
