Why Add Microgreens?

Traditional gyros are delicious, but adding microgreens takes this wrap to another level:

• Nutrient-Dense – More vitamins and minerals than mature greens.

• Flavorful – Peppery radish, nutty sunflower, or mild broccoli microgreens add unique taste.

• Fresh & Local – Our microgreens are grown right here in DFW, harvested fresh for your family.
