Salty Fingers, 50 Pieces

Salty Fingers 50 Pieces are 50 pieces of salty fingers – the young shoots of Salicornia europaea, a succulent coastal plant with a crisp texture and a natural oceanic saltiness. Salty fingers are related to samphire and share its characteristic coastal, mineral character. As a result, they are a natural garnish for fish, shellfish and seafood preparations. Furthermore, the individual finger-shaped pieces make precise placement on the plate straightforward. In particular, 50 individual pieces provide a generous garnish quantity for multiple restaurant servings.

About Salty Fingers 50 Pieces

We source our microherbs and garnishes from specialist growers using controlled indoor growing environments. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour intensity, visual impact and condition on delivery. As a result, the microherbs we deliver meet the standard demanded by the finest restaurant kitchens in Britain. Furthermore, microherbs are the seedling stage of familiar herbs and vegetables. We harvest them at 7 to 14 days when flavour and nutrients are at their absolute peak. However, their delicate size requires careful handling from grower to cook. In particular, microherbs must travel the shortest possible distance between harvest and kitchen to arrive in perfect condition. Additionally, we work only with growers who harvest to order rather than holding stock. That freshness is what makes the difference on the plate. That is why Salty Fingers 50 Pieces from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Salty Fingers 50 Pieces From Us

Using microherbs well is about restraint and placement. In contrast to full-sized herbs, microherbs do not suit cooking. As a result, they go on at the very last moment as a finishing garnish rather than an ingredient. Furthermore, a small quantity applied with precision achieves far more than a large quantity scattered carelessly. However, their flavour is considerably more concentrated than the full-grown version might suggest. In particular, micro coriander, micro basil and micro roquette each carry an intensity that surprises most cooks the first time they use them. Moreover, the visual impact of microherbs is immediate and professional. Additionally, tweezers rather than fingers give the most precise placement. That precision is what distinguishes a professional finish from a home presentation.

How to Use Salty Fingers 50 Pieces

To get the very best from Salty Fingers 50 Pieces:

• Place 2 to 3 pieces alongside or on top of a fish or seafood dish for a natural coastal garnish.
• Use as a seasoning element – salty fingers contain enough natural salt to season a small component.
• Furthermore, salty fingers suit raw preparations like oysters, sashimi and ceviche where their brine is a natural companion.
• Additionally, blanch briefly in unsalted water for 1 minute to preserve colour and reduce the saltiness slightly.

Perfect Pairings

Salty Fingers 50 Pieces pairs beautifully with:

• Oysters, sashimi and raw seafood preparations where the coastal character is most at home
• Fish and shellfish dishes of all kinds as a natural, mineral garnish
• Ceviche, tartare and raw fish where the natural salt is a welcome seasoning
• A chilled Muscadet, Chablis or a dry English white wine alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within 3 to 5 days of delivery. Store in the original punnet with the lid slightly ajar to allow airflow. However, do not wash microherbs until immediately before use. Moisture causes rapid deterioration. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour and condition. Delivered fresh, harvested to order and ready to garnish.

However you use it, Salty Fingers 50 Pieces brings a freshness and quality to any dish that dried or older alternatives simply cannot provide. Moreover, cooking with genuinely fresh herbs and garnishes is one of the most immediate ways to raise the standard of any kitchen.
