Coriander

Coriander microgreens, often referred to as cilantro or Chinese parsley, are a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition. Grown from Coriander herb seeds, these tiny greens are harvested before the full Coriander plant forms, giving them an incredibly pungent flavor. Coriander microgreens pack an impressive nutrient punch—containing more Vitamin A than spinach and chard–which makes them a smart and tasty addition to any smoothie or salad. In addition, Coriander microgreens’ fresh, distinct taste makes them the perfect garnish for all kinds of dishes. While typically small in size, Coriander microgreens have a big impact on the overall flavor profile of your meal! What’s most fascinating about Coriander microgreens is that even though they’ve been around for a long time, they are still emerging in popularity as chefs discover more ways to maximize their potential. With Coriander microgreens, every bite will be an experience unlike any other.
