With specialty produce, such as micro herbs ore basil crystals, the chef can add the ideal seasonings to make the dish really stand out in taste and flavor.

Sugar flowers, also known as crystallized flowers, are made just as their name implies. First, edible flowers such as marigold, snapdragon, carnation, nasturtium, batchelor’s buttons, dahlia and pansy, are coated in a solution of sugar. The next step is a drying process that renders them the perfect addition to cheese plates, desserts and drinks. Nothing says wow like a pretty, and delicious, flower floating invitingly in an individual’s favorite drink.
Microgreens are a fun addition to have in any chef’s kitchen. When they are properly cared for by being refrigerated, they usually last five to seven days. Sometimes they can last even longer. Some of the more popular varities of microgreens include broccoli, cucumber, beet, kale, wasabi, chia, arugula, radish, celery and various types of lettuce. By keeping some of these young seedlings on hand, a chef can instantly have fresh and tasty greens to add to any meal, no matter time of the day it is. Microgreens and crystallized flowers look particularly inviting when used with brunch dishes.
