Grower
Orchid MicroFlowers™ are available year round, reaching their peak of season in the spring.
Orchid MicroFlowers™ are a member of the family Orchidaceae, the largest family of flowering plants. Producing these flowers requires a much more intense growing process than MicroGreens™. The plant has to fully mature in order to create flower buds. Once the flowers bloom they are closely watched and harvested at their peak of beauty and freshness.
These petite flowers have a classic orchid shape and can be red, orange, yellow, purple or white. Each flower has four or five delicate exterior petals and a column shaped center which contains the flowers stamens and pistils. The center column of the flower is caped with fringed petals which are often times splashed with yellow. The flavor of the MicroFlower™ Orchid is refreshing with nuances of cucumber and watermelon.
Orchid MicroFlowers™ are most often used in fresh preparations. Use as a decoration on cakes, sorbet, crème brule and delicate pastries. Sprinkle atop fruit, grain and green salads to add a pop of color. They make an attractive edible garnish on cheese boards and dessert plates. Light in weight and delicate enough to float on liquids, MicroFlower™ Orchids are perfect for serving atop chilled soups, punch and cocktails.
