MicroGreen Fines Herbes Mix™ is available year round.
Current Facts
Tiny seedlings of herbs and greens, nutritious MicroGreens are today’s popular garnish and flavor accent offering a multitude of colors, textures and distinct flavors. Grown in soil or soil-like materials, MicroGreens depend on sunlight and air circulation to flourish, unlike sprouts that grow in water and require a dark environment with high humidity. Cut just above the soil, MicroGreens are harvested one to two inches tall and seven to twenty-one days after planting when their very first leaves appear. Dramatically and deliciously accentuating the fine dining experience, chic MicroGreens’ tasty stems and leaves create an eye-catching presentation that definitely delights diners.
Description/Taste
MicroGreen Fines Herbes Mix™ is based upon the traditional and popular French herb blend and consists of MicroGreen Parsley, MicroGreen Chervil, MicroGreen Chives and MicroGreen Tarragon. Although not traditionally a part of Fines Herbes, MicroGreen Amaranth is added to this unique blend of flavors for color enhancement. Especially a favorite of gourmet chefs because of its light feathery appearance.
Applications
Simply superb MicroGreen Fines Herbes Mix™ adds exceptional flavor to a variety of savory culinary creations. Soups and stews love its tasty presence. To store, refrigerate in a sealed container. Use promptly for quality, flavor and presentation.
