Description

Micro Mint 15g is 15g of micro mint – the seedling stage of spearmint with an intense, clean and cooling menthol character in a small, delicate leaf form. Micro mint delivers the full impact of fresh mint in a refined, precise garnish form. As a result, it suits both sweet dessert preparations and savoury dishes where a mint note is wanted. Furthermore, the small leaves allow more precise placement than full mint, which tends to overwhelm the plate visually. In particular, micro mint is outstanding on chocolate desserts, lamb dishes and cocktails where the cooling character creates the perfect contrast.

About Micro Mint 15g

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 Micro Mint 15g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Micro Mint 15g 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 Micro Mint 15g

To get the very best from Micro Mint 15g:

  • Place on chocolate desserts, panna cotta and cream preparations where the cooling contrast is outstanding.
  • Scatter over lamb dishes, pea soups and spring preparations as a refined garnish.
  • Furthermore, micro mint suits cocktails and mocktails where both visual elegance and fresh mint flavour are wanted.
  • Additionally, use on Middle Eastern-inspired dishes and grain salads where mint is a traditional ingredient.

Perfect Pairings

Micro Mint 15g pairs beautifully with:

  • Dark chocolate and chocolate desserts – the most natural pairing for mint
  • Lamb, pea soup and spring vegetable preparations
  • Cocktails, mojitos and fresh drinks
  • Middle Eastern grain salads, yoghurt dishes and tabbouleh

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, Micro Mint 15g 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.
