ChefPax Mix is a blend of multiple microgreen varieties — including brassica crops such as broccoli, kohlrabi, kale, cabbage, and purple radish, alongside buckwheat and texsel greens — selected for complementary flavor, texture, and phytochemical diversity. The brassica-dominant composition draws on one of the most studied crop families in microgreen nutrition research.
