Description

Micro Ruby Red Chard is a punnet of micro ruby red chard – the seedling stage of red chard with vivid crimson stems and deep green leaves with a mild, slightly earthy flavour. Micro ruby red chard is one of the most visually beautiful of all microherbs. As a result, the crimson stems against dark green leaves create an immediate and sophisticated visual impact. Furthermore, the mild earthy flavour suits a wide range of preparations without imposing strongly. In particular, micro ruby red chard is outstanding on pale dishes and cream preparations where the crimson colour creates the most dramatic contrast.

About Micro Ruby Red Chard

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 Ruby Red Chard from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Micro Ruby Red Chard 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 Ruby Red Chard

To get the very best from Micro Ruby Red Chard:

  • Place on cream-based dishes, pale soups and light preparations where the crimson creates vivid contrast.
  • Scatter over a composed salad or micro leaf mix where the colour adds visual variety.
  • Furthermore, micro ruby red chard suits fish and seafood preparations where the colour and mild flavour both work.
  • Additionally, use on a cheese plate or charcuterie board where the visual impact is most appreciated.

Perfect Pairings

Micro Ruby Red Chard pairs beautifully with:

  • Cream-based dishes, pale soups and light preparations where the colour stands out
  • Fish, shellfish and seafood plates
  • Cheese and charcuterie boards as a colourful garnish
  • Good olive oil and sea salt as the simplest accompaniment

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 Ruby Red Chard 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.
