Which microgreens work best for restaurants?
For restaurants in Malta, the best microgreens are usually the ones that are easy to use, consistent, visually strong and available on a regular weekly schedule. Verdura Microgreens grows fresh microgreens locally in Mosta for chefs, caterers, restaurants, resellers and fresh produce buyers.
Pea shoots: the easiest fresh green
Pea shoots are one of the most useful microgreens for kitchens because they are fresh, sweet, crunchy and familiar to customers. They work well in salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, fish dishes, meat dishes and as a fresh garnish.
Red amaranth: strong colour for plating
Red amaranth microgreens are ideal when a chef wants strong colour and a premium garnish look. The red-pink stems and delicate leaves make plates stand out without overpowering the dish.
Cilantro and micro cress mixes: flavour and freshness
Cilantro microgreens bring a bold citrus-herbal flavour for seafood, tacos, curries, soups and Asian-style dishes. For a more familiar fresh cress product, micro cress mixes can include radish, mustard, kohlrabi, broccoli raab and red cabbage.
Premium garnish options
Restaurants can also use red veined sorrel for lemony acidity, red cabbage microgreens for colour, chervil for a delicate herb garnish and nasturtium for a bold edible leaf.
Cut microgreens or living pots?
Cut microgreens are convenient for service and portion control. Living microgreens pots are useful when chefs or resellers want to cut fresh when needed and keep the product looking alive for longer. Verdura Microgreens can discuss both formats depending on variety, weekly quantity and delivery schedule.
