Micro Coriander: Bright, Citrusy and Delicate!

Coriander micro herbs, also known as micro coriander or cilantro sprouts, have a fresh, vibrant flavour with a bright citrusy note and a hint of spice. Compared to mature coriander leaves, these micro herbs have a milder and slightly sweeter taste, making them an excellent choice for delicate dishes where balance is key. They retain the classic coriander aroma but without the intense, sometimes polarising, pungency of the fully grown herb. In terms of texture, micro corianders are tender, with fine stems and delicate leaves that add a light, crisp element to dishes. They also provide a visually appealing garnish while enhancing the overall freshness of a plate. Due to their fragile nature, they are best used raw or added at the very end of cooking to preserve their vibrant flavour and texture.
