Herb Flowers Mix is comprised of a variety of flowering herbs that vary in color and shape, depending on the specific variety. The flowers consist of thin, delicate, and flat petals ranging from narrow and elongated, round and frilled, broad and curved, to oval with a tapered tip, bearing a soft, smooth, and silky consistency. Each blossom is also attached to sturdy stems with leaves of varying shape and size. The petals differ in colors, displaying vibrant hues of bright yellow, purple, periwinkle, royal blue, and magenta. Herb Flowers Mix contains a crisp, succulent, and tender texture with a faint, perfumed scent. The flower mix showcases many distinct flavors with vegetal and herbal notes and citrus, anise, anise, and woodsy nuances.
Herb Flower Mix is available year-round.
Herb Flowers Mix combines flowers from a variety of popular herbs, including rosemary, basil, thyme, tarragon, and lavender, to create a highly aromatic blend with a sweet and savory flavor. The mix is a part of a line of specialty flowers grown by Fresh Origins Farm in San Diego, California, designed to complement the company’s extensive line of microgreens. The flowers are generally smaller than a quarter and offer a range of flavors, vivid colors, shapes, and textures to elevate culinary and mixology experiences. The blend of flowering herbs will vary with seasonal availability, creating unique mixes harvested at peak freshness to ensure optimal flavor and appearance. The delicate herb flowers can be used whole as a garnish, sprinkled over preparations, or individual flowers can be placed to make a colorful statement.
Herb Flowers Mix provides multiple vitamins and minerals due to its combination of herbs and flowers with unique nutritional properties, all of which may vary due to the changing blend. The greens are a source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants that strengthen the immune system, boost collagen, and reduce inflammation. The mix also contains some potassium to balance fluid levels, vitamin E to protect the body against free radical damage, lower amounts of iron, calcium, and vitamin K, and phytonutrients, compounds containing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Herb Flowers Mix is best suited as an edible accent as the flower’s delicate nature is preserved when added at the end of preparations to avoid wilting. The entire flower is edible, and it is important to note that each flower variety within the blend will contain a different flavor. The flowers should be individually sampled before they are used as an edible garnish to understand the bloom’s unique flavor profile. Small groupings of flowers can also be sampled together to experience the flavor of consuming multiple blossoms in one bite. Herb Flowers Mix can be added to salads, floated over soups and curries, mixed with rice and other grains, or used as a garnish for sushi and sashimi. The flowers can also be used to decorate seafood dishes such as calamari, ceviche, and shrimp cocktail, or strategically placed on pasta, seafood, sandwiches, appetizers, and other main plates for added aesthetic. In addition to using the flowers in their natural form, the blooms can be frozen into ice cubes as a festive element, wrapped into fresh spring rolls, or they can be pressed into cookies and soft cheeses for an elevated, whimsical appearance. Herb Flowers Mix can also accent desserts such as cakes, scones, sorbets, crème brulee, cookies, puddings, and tarts, or they can be used as a garnish in craft cocktails and mocktails. Herb Flowers Mix pairs well with chocolate, fruits such as coconut, strawberries, lemons, passionfruit, mango, and cherries, herbs, including lavender, parsley, and mint, cheeses such as goat, brie, and blue, leafy greens, and springtime vegetables, including asparagus, peas, green garlic, and fava beans. Herb Flowers Mix should be used immediately for the best quality and flavor and will keep 2 to 4 days when stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Throughout history, herbs and flowers have been used to create flavorful teas. Legend has it that the first herbal infusion came about by chance over 4,500 years ago. In 2700 BCE, Emperor Shennong of China was resting under a tree when some leaves and twigs fell in a pot of boiling water. The smell was so enticing; he decided to drink the infusion. He was surprised by the tea’s pleasant flavor, and over time, with much experimentation, he discovered many different herbal remedies to improve the health of his people. Shennong became known as the “God of Chinese Herbal Medicine.” Today, herbal infusions continue to play an essential role in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the practice of drinking herbal remedies has spread throughout much of the world. Herb Flowers Mix can be used as a garnish for herbal teas as well as cocktails inspired by these ancient herbal infusions.
Herb Flowers Mix is comprised of a variety of herbs that are all native to many different regions, including the Mediterranean, Africa, India, and Siberia. These varying herbs were spread along trade routes into different areas of the world, including Europe and North and South America, where they have naturalized and can now be found growing commercially. Herb Flowers Mix was developed at Fresh Origins in San Marcos, California, the leading American producer of naturally grown microgreens and Petite® Greens since the mid-1990s. The temperate climate of southern California allows Fresh Origins to produce their high-quality greens year-round, supplying produce retailers and chefs directly throughout the United States and Canada.
