Microgreens add freshness, colour, and a finishing touch to any plate. Here's how professionals use them.

Match flavour to the dish

Mild greens (micro spinach, pea shoots, broccoli) work with delicate proteins. Spicy varieties (radish, mustard) pair well with richer, bolder dishes—tacos, sushi, burgers.

Use them last

Add microgreens just before serving. Heat wilts them quickly. A scatter on top of a warm dish is enough to wilt slightly and release flavour.

Vary the look

Stack a small bunch for height. Scatter loosely for a casual look. Use a single variety for clean lines, or mix for colour contrast.
