The Unique Flavour of Coriander Microgreens

A Love Affair with Flavour

Cilantro (Coriander) is one of the most polarizing herbs in the world, but its microgreen version often wins over even the skeptics. It delivers a cleaner, zestier, and more perfumed flavour profile than the mature herb, lacking the soapy aftertaste some people dislike.

Citrus & Spice

The primary flavour note of micro coriander is citrus (lime and lemon zest) followed by the warm, spicy aroma typical of coriander seeds. This complexity makes it an exceptional pairing for rich or spicy foods. It cuts through the heaviness of pork belly, brightens up a ceviche, and lifts the fragrance of a Thai green curry.

Delicate Beauty

Micro coriander is visually stunning. It features an intricate, serrated leaf pattern that looks like a piece of lace. The stems are slender and elegant. However, this beauty comes with fragility. Cilantro microgreens are sensitive to heat and should only be added to a hot dish at the very last second before serving to maintain their texture and aroma.

Seed Husk Surprise

Often, micro coriander is served with the seed husk still attached to the leaf tips. Don't remove them! These little round spheres are edible and provide an extra burst of toasted coriander flavour when bitten, adding a unique textural element to the dish.
