Microgreens are one of South Dakota’s unique year-round crops. Celebrate these edible seedlings at the upcoming ‘Mighty Microgreens Superfood Event’ with Dakota Fresh Food Hub, a farmer-owned collective that markets and distributes local foods in Southeast South Dakota.
Sanaa’s Gourmet Mediterranean restaurant in Sioux Falls will host the event on Fri., March 15, 2024 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The free festival will take place at 401 E. 8th St., Unit 100 in Sioux Falls (8th and Railroad).
Attendees can look forward to sampling microgreens including broccoli, radish, onion, corn, and sunflower. Sanaa’s will provide a small appetizer utilizing micros.
Kids can enjoy seed pack kits to plant their own micros. There will be information about the health benefits of microgreens, how to incorporate them into your own recipes, and how to purchase them locally through Dakota Fresh Food Hub. Guests can enter giveaways for a sprout tower and variety pack of micros.
The event will feature Dakota Fresh producers ‘Little Greens Microgreens’ and ‘SoDak Greens’.
This ‘Fresher is Fun’ event is the fifth of eight retail events in the state promoting the purchasing of South Dakota grown specialty crops. Three additional Fresher is Fun events will occur in 2024 in Nisland, Rapid City, and Sioux Falls.
