Tiny Vegetables Are the Cutest Trend You'll See This Spring
If anyone knows a thing or two about cuteness, it's Ree Drummond. Have you seen her floral Instant Pots at Walmart? Her behind-the-scenes photos with Ladd? That LOL-worthy throwback photo of Paige dressed as an angel?
When it comes to adorable things, there's a pretty high bar around there.
Which is why, when we call a trend "really, really cute," you should pay attention.
Yes, those are tiny vegetables—and they are, in fact, really, really cute. Heck, throw in an extra "really," and the sentence still rings true. These baby veggies are more than just fun to look at, though; they're edible and legitimately useful. Like their larger counterparts, they can be served fresh or cooked, though they're most often used as a colorful garnish on appetizers, cocktails, and soups (like this stunning "24 Carrot Cocktail" from blogger Sugar and Cloth).
Just imagine the Easter possibilities with those tiny carrots.
Tiny cucumbers, tiny leeks, tiny turnips, and tiny carrots are all available from California-based distributor Gourmet Sweet Botanicals, among many other varieties—or you can invest in their "Tiny Veggies Crudité Mix," which features a mix of all of the above. You can also consider a "Baby Vegetables Gift Box" from Harry & David—all the better for surprising a friend.
No matter which way you slice them, though, these veggies are downright mesmerizing.
