Applications
Micro Tangerine Lace™ greens are best suited for raw applications as their delicate nature cannot withstand high heat preparations. They are most commonly used as a garnish that can be sprinkled over seafood, poultry, and salads. They can also be served in cocktails, blended into herb oils, or used as a substitute for mint and placed as a bright, citrus note in desserts such as ice cream, sorbets, cookies, and cakes. Micro Tangerine Lace™ pairs well with seafood such as shrimp, crab, lobster, scallops, red snapper, halibut, sturgeon, tuna, salmon, and oysters, escargot, lamb, radish, apples, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, and escarole. They will keep 5-7 days when stored unwashed, in a sealed container, and in the refrigerator.
