Microgreens and edible flowers: a quick guide
Learn what they are, how to use them, and why they are appearing in restaurants, bars, pastry, and healthy kitchens.
Microgreens
Microgreens are young plants harvested after germination, once they have tender leaves and defined flavor. They are used raw or added at the end to preserve texture, aroma, and color.
Edible flowers
Edible flowers are not ordinary decorative flowers: they must be grown for consumption, without chemicals unsuitable for food, and handled carefully. They are used for color, aroma, and presentation in salads, cocktails, desserts, and chef plates.
Storage
Keep them refrigerated, dry, and closed. Handle carefully to protect leaves and stems.
Culinary use
Add just before serving. Mix varieties to balance sweet, peppery, crunchy, and visual impact.
Safe purchasing
For edible flowers, buy only products grown and labeled for culinary use.
