Happiness is... having tortillas on the menu!
One of the best things my nutritionist told me: "The food you eat should make you happy."

This beautiful taco is part of the menus that my nutritionist gave me as part of my journey towards my ideal weight, and it's a reminder that balance and joy can absolutely go hand in hand.

Made with a blue corn @ tortilla, sautéed mushrooms, and topped with a vibrant handful of microgreens — this meal is nourishing, satisfying, and full of flavour.

Eating well isn't about restriction — it's about choosing meals that fuel your goals and your happiness.

Hi, we’re Carol & Paul from Dainty Greens!
We’re your local certified organic microgreens farmers, growing tiny but mighty greens right here in Dublin.🇮🇪

At Dainty Greens, we believe in real food, grown with care—and we want you to know your farmer.

So, what are microgreens🌱?
They’re young veggies and herbs, bursting with flavour and nutrients. Add them to anything—from your morning eggs to your evening stir-fry.

Why choose organic?
Because certified organic means no pesticides, no synthetic fertilisers full transparency from seed to plate.
It’s better for your health, better for the planet, and supports a food system you can trust.

You can get our microgreens:
• Freshly harvested & packed
• Live in individual punnets.
• Or per box of live greens, still growing and ready to cut.

Big news!
We’ve partnered with Green Earth Organics, Ireland’s leading organic distributors.
Now you can order Dainty Greens directly from: greenearthorganics.ie for nationwide delivery.

We’re so proud our greens are recognised for their freshness and quality.

Quality Matters in Microgreens

Take a closer look at these two punnets. Both are red mustard—but only one truly meets the standard we believe chefs deserve.

The one on the right it's what many chefs receive today. Why? It's cheaper and faster to produce. These greens are out to the market just days after germination—before they’ve had a chance to truly become microgreens.

At our farm, we take a different approach.
We give our microgreens🌱 more time to grow. We wait for the leaves to open fully, for the plant to reach its full potential.

The result?

A vibrant, beautifully formed plant

Easier to handle and plate

Visually striking and full of flavour

This is the level of quality we stand by—because your dishes deserve better, and your customers can taste the difference.

Let’s raise the bar for what’s considered “standard.”
