The Taco Blend
$20 / 8oz delivery
Cilantro. Sunnies. Onion. Spicy Radish. Tuesday tacos that taste like Friday-night Mexican.
What Restaurant Tacos Have That Yours Don't 🌮
Pull a taco off the line at a real Mexican spot, the carnitas one, the al pastor, and look at it. Pile of meat, pinch of fresh white onion, fistful of cilantro, squeeze of lime. That's it. That's the whole trick.
The cilantro and onion are doing 80% of the work. They're not garnish. They're the dish.
Taco Blend gives you those exact two flavors at peak freshness, plus sunflower for body and spicy radish for the kick that cuts through the fat. One pinch on a taco. The whole meal levels up.
"What if your $2 ground-beef tacos tasted closer to the $14 ones at the place downtown, and the only thing that changed was what you sprinkled on top?" 🤔
What's In The Blend 🌮
The herb finish. Same flavor as grown cilantro, more concentrated, fresher.
Sunflower microgreens for crunchy body. Adds the texture lettuce was supposed to give you.
Bright sharpness without the rawness of chopped white onion.
Clean horseradish heat. Cuts through cheese, fat, and crema.
Four-variety fixed recipe. Same blend every week.
What Each Variety Brings To The Taco 🌱
Four varieties, four jobs. None of them are filler. Here is what each one is doing for your plate and your body.
Cilantro
The signature herb of Mexican cooking. Cilantro microgreens carry the same flavor compounds as grown cilantro (the aldehydes that make it distinct) at a more concentrated level, so a small pinch reads bigger than a handful of chopped adult leaves.
Nutrition highlights:
- Vitamin K, supports blood clotting and bone metabolism
- Vitamin A and C, antioxidant pair
- Polyphenols traditionally associated with digestion support
- Iron and manganese in trace amounts
Sunnies (Sunflower)
The body of the blend. Sunflower microgreens are nutty, crunchy, and substantial, so the taco topper does not collapse into a wet pile. 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 taqueria tacos finish with, without the harsh rawness of chopped white 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
Spicy Radish
The heat that cuts through cheese, sour cream, and rendered fat. Spicy radish microgreens give a clean horseradish-style bite that builds over a second or two then fades, so it never overwhelms the cilantro.
Nutrition highlights:
- Glucosinolates including sulforaphane precursors (Brassica family)
- Vitamin C, supports immune function
- Anthocyanins (the violet pigment in the stems)
- Folate and potassium in trace amounts

Three Ways To Use The Blend 🍳
Beyond the obvious sprinkle on a taco. Three uses that show the blend's range.
Microgreen Salsa Verde

Charred tomatillos and jalapeño blended chunky, then folded with chopped Taco Blend. The cilantro and onion in the blend round out the tomatillo so the salsa reads layered instead of flat.

- Lime, salt
- 1/3 cup Taco Blend + extra to finish
Char, blend chunky, fold in greens, finish with a fresh pinch on top.
Taqueria-Style Taco Topper
Total time: 3 minutes . . . Yields: Tops 8 to 10 tacos
The two-finger pinch real taquerias use, made portable. Lime, salt, optional Tajín, tossed with the blend. Set the bowl on the table and let people finish their own tacos.
You'll need:
- 1 cup Taco Blend (whole, not chopped)
- Lime juice, flaky salt
- Optional: pinch of Tajín or chili powder
Fluff, lime, salt, optional chili. Done in under 3 minutes.
Elote-Style Street Corn
Total time: 17 minutes . . . Yields: 4 ears
Charred corn slathered in crema and mayo, rolled in cotija, dusted with chili, then pressed into Taco Blend so the greens stick. The radish cuts the crema, the cilantro keeps it Mexican.
You'll need:
- 4 ears corn, crema, mayo, cotija
- Chili powder or Tajín, lime wedges
- 1/2 cup Taco Blend
Char, slather, coat, dust, press greens in, lime over the top.
The Move Real Taquerias Use

Taco Blend gives you the exact same finish, harvested within 24 hours of delivery, dropped at your door. Tuesday tacos that read as intentional instead of thrown together.
Frequently Asked Questions 🌮
What is in the Taco Blend?
Four fixed varieties: cilantro for the herb finish, sunflower (sunnies) for crunchy body, onion for sharpness, and spicy radish for the heat. Same recipe every week, no rotation.
How much is the Taco Blend?
$20 for 8oz. Harvested within 24 hours of delivery. Free local delivery in SE Pennsylvania.
What do you eat Taco Blend with?
Tacos, fajitas, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, fresh salsa, guacamole, Mexican rice, carnitas bowls, elote, ceviche, and aguachile. Anywhere fresh cilantro and chopped onion show up, this is the upgrade.
Does cilantro microgreens taste like grown cilantro?
Yes, same signature herbaceous flavor, just more concentrated and fresher. People who find adult cilantro soapy often handle the microgreen version better.
How spicy is the radish in this blend?
A clean horseradish heat that builds. The cilantro and sunflower balance it. Most kids tolerate a small pinch on a taco. Adjust the pinch size to taste.
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 Taco Blend last in the fridge?
10 to 14 days refrigerated. The spicy radish is the shortest-lived variety in the blend at about 10 days, so plan to use the blend within that window for peak crunch and heat.
Can I use Taco Blend on something other than tacos?
Yes. Customers use it on huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, queso fundido, grilled fish, ceviche, elote, and even savory grilled cheese. Anywhere you'd want fresh cilantro plus a bite of onion or radish, the blend works.
Why is the Taco Blend a fixed recipe instead of rotating?
Mexican cooking has a specific flavor expectation, cilantro plus onion plus a peppery sharp note. Rotating would break that profile. Taco Blend is engineered for one job, so the four varieties are locked.
How is Taco Blend different from Farmers Blend?
Farmers Blend rotates each week, a chef's choice mix from whatever is peaking in the greenhouse. Taco Blend is always the same four varieties (cilantro, sunnies, onion, spicy radish) for Mexican-cuisine cooking specifically.
