Add cilantro microgreens just before serving to preserve their delicate texture, as they may wilt if exposed to prolonged heat. Unlike fully grown cilantro, these microgreens boast a vibrant and subtly sweet flavor, devoid of the occasionally soapy or bitter undertones found in mature cilantro. Ideal for enhancing dishes from Mexican, Indian, Thai, and Chinese cuisines, cilantro microgreens offer versatile culinary possibilities. Sprinkle them atop egg rolls or spring rolls for added freshness, incorporate them into lobster or crab dishes to infuse a lively flavor, mix them into polenta, or finely chop them into salsa for a zesty kick. Cilantro microgreens complement a variety of ingredients, including avocado, carrots, zucchini, tomato, coconut milk, citrus, ginger, mint, lemongrass, chili peppers, yogurt, chicken, lamb, and fish.

Cilantro microgreens contain 3 times more beta carotene than the mature leaves. The concentration of beta carotene in cilantro microgreens is comparable to that of carrots and sweet potatoes.
