All-Natural Herb, Flower & Fruit Crystals Inspire Creativity For Chefs & Home Cooks

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – Fresh Origins, America’s leading producer of MicroGreens and Edible Flowers has dazzled chefs, home cooks, mixologists and foodies alike with their new flavor crystals. Striking, all-natural colors and the flavors of fresh flowers and herbs, make these crystals the perfect ingredients for adding a distinctive finishing touch to any culinary creation.

Carefully hand-harvested at the peak of flavor and color, fresh herbs and edible flowers are combined with pure cane sugar to create vibrant, flavorful crystals. Their crunchy texture and concentrated flavor brighten up salads, pair well with savory dishes and add color to baked goods and desserts. The crystals can even be tossed into a cocktail for a surprise of color at the bottom of the glass, whose flavor will be savored in the last sip.

“It’s been exciting to see how chefs use and love the products. We’re thrilled to continue to introduce new flavors of these crystals to the culinary world,” says David Sasuga, founder of Fresh Origins.
