The Burger Blend
$20 / 8oz delivery
Lettuce on a burger is filler. This is the upgrade. Sunnies. Onion. Mustard. Engineered for griddle food.
Why Lettuce Is The Worst Part Of A Burger 🍔
Think about it. The patty is hot. The cheese is melted. The bun is toasted. And then you put a wet, flavorless leaf in the middle that's been sitting in a clamshell for six days.
Burger Blend was engineered to replace that leaf. Sunflower microgreens give you the crunch and nutty body lettuce was supposed to provide. Onion microgreens add sharpness without the rawness of a sliced onion. Mustard microgreens bring a clean horseradish-style heat that cuts through the fat.
Three varieties. One pinch on top of the patty. The whole sandwich changes.
"What if the best part of your burger wasn't the meat, it was the thing on top of it?" 🤔
What's In The Blend 🍔
Sunflower microgreens for crunchy nutty body. The structural backbone of the blend.
Bright, sharp, alive. None of the rawness of sliced onion.
Clean horseradish heat that cuts through fat and cheese.
Three-variety fixed recipe. Same blend every week.
What Each Variety Brings To The Burger 🌱
Three varieties, three jobs. None of them are filler. Here is what each one is doing for your plate and your body.
Sunnies (Sunflower)
The body of the blend. Sunflower microgreens are nutty, crunchy, and substantial. They give the burger topper structural integrity so it doesn't collapse under a hot patty. Sunnies are the most nutrient-dense single variety we grow, often called the "complete protein" microgreen.
Nutrition highlights:
- All essential amino acids (plant-rare complete protein)
- Vitamin E, antioxidant for skin and cardiovascular tissue
- Magnesium, supports nervous-system function
- B-complex vitamins (B1, B5, B6) for energy metabolism
- Healthy fats and zinc
Onion
The sharpness that steakhouse burgers finish with, without the harsh rawness of a sliced raw onion. Onion microgreens deliver the same allium punch in a small green form that wilts into the heat instead of biting back.
Nutrition highlights:
- Sulfur compounds (allicin family) associated with cardiovascular support
- Quercetin, a flavonoid antioxidant
- Prebiotic fibers that feed gut bacteria
- Vitamin C and chromium in trace amounts
Mustard
The heat that cuts through American cheese, mayo, and rendered beef fat. Mustard microgreens give a clean horseradish-style bite that builds for a second then fades, so it never overwhelms the other varieties or the meat.
Nutrition highlights:
- Glucosinolates including sinigrin (Brassica family)
- Vitamin K, supports blood clotting and bone metabolism
- Vitamin A and C, antioxidant pair
- Calcium and iron in trace amounts
- Selenium for thyroid and immune support

Why Cookout Hosts Reorder It ⭐
Holds Under Heat
Doesn't wilt to slime under a hot patty like lettuce does. Texture survives the bite.
Steakhouse Finish
The same kind of finish that makes a $22 steakhouse burger taste different from a fast food one.
Pro-Level Without Skill
No technique required. Sprinkle a pinch on. Your burger now reads as "intentional" instead of "thrown together."
Three Ways To Use The Blend 🍳
Beyond the obvious sprinkle on a smash burger. Three uses that show the blend's range.
Steakhouse Smash Burger
Total time: 11 minutes . . . Yields: 2 burgers
Cast-iron smashed patty with American cheese, mayo-Dijon, toasted brioche, and a generous heap of Burger Blend in place of lettuce. The blend wilts slightly under the heat without losing structure.
You'll need:
- 8oz 80/20 ground beef, cheese, brioche buns
- Mayo, Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup Burger Blend
Smash, cheese, sauce, greens on top, close. 11 minutes.
Microgreen Spicy Mayo
Total time: 4 minutes . . . Yields: About 1/2 cup
A burger sauce built around the blend, so every bite carries onion and mustard flavor instead of just the top of the patty. Holds 24 hours covered in the fridge.
You'll need:
- 1/3 cup mayo, 2 tsp Dijon, 1 tsp ketchup
- Pickle brine, smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup Burger Blend, finely chopped
Chop, whisk, fold. Spread on bun. Dunk fries.
Steakhouse Patty Melt
Total time: 20 minutes . . . Yields: 2 sandwiches
Patty melt on rye with caramelized onions, Gruyère, and a layer of Burger Blend tucked inside. The blend wilts under the hot cheese, releasing mustard heat through the whole sandwich.
You'll need:
- 8oz ground beef, yellow onion, Gruyère
- Rye bread, butter
- 1/3 cup Burger Blend
Caramelize, sear patty, build sandwich, griddle outside.

Frequently Asked Questions 🍔
What is in the Burger Blend?
Three fixed varieties: sunflower (sunnies) for nutty crunch, onion for sharpness, and mustard for clean horseradish heat. Same recipe every week, no rotation.
How much is the Burger Blend?
$20 for 8oz. Harvested within 24 hours of delivery. Free local delivery in SE Pennsylvania.
What do I eat it with?
Burgers, smash sandwiches, grilled cheese, hot dogs, brats, sliders, BLTs, steak sandwiches, patty melts, and steakhouse sliders. Anywhere lettuce shows up as filler, replace it.
Is it too spicy for kids?
Most kids handle it fine. The mustard heat is clean and short, closer to a fresh horseradish than a chili pepper. The sunflower cools it off. Try a small pinch first.
Are the microgreens pesticide-free?
Yes. All microGREEN FX microgreens are grown pesticide-free with USDA Organic seeds, purified water, and living soil in SE Pennsylvania.
How long does Burger Blend last in the fridge?
2 to 3 weeks refrigerated. All three varieties hold up well, the sunflower is the longest-lived. Use across multiple cookouts without buying lettuce every week.
Does Burger Blend wilt under a hot patty like lettuce?
No. The sunflower microgreens have a much sturdier structure than iceberg or romaine, so they hold their texture under heat. They wilt slightly to release flavor, but they don't turn to slime the way lettuce does.
Can I use Burger Blend on something other than burgers?
Yes. Customers use it on grilled cheese, club sandwiches, breakfast egg sandwiches, deli wraps, pulled pork, hot dogs, and even tucked into omelets. Anywhere you'd put lettuce or chopped raw onion, the blend works better.
Why is the Burger Blend a fixed recipe instead of rotating?
American griddle food has a specific flavor expectation, body plus sharp plus heat. Rotating would break that profile. Burger Blend is engineered for one job, so the three varieties are locked.
How is Burger Blend different from Taco Blend?
Taco Blend includes cilantro and spicy radish for Mexican cooking. Burger Blend skips cilantro, uses mustard instead of radish, and is built for cheese-and-fat sandwiches (burgers, melts, grilled cheese) instead of taco-night dishes.
