Chervil Microgreens

Anthriscus cerefolium

About

Chervil has long been considered one of the more refined herbs in French cooking, prized for a delicate flavor that never overwhelms a dish. Chervil microgreens carry that same understated elegance into a smaller, more delicate leaf.

Flavor Profile & Texture

The flavor is delicate and gently anise forward, softer than fennel or dill, with a faint parsley like freshness underneath. Texturally, the leaves are fine and lacy, among the most delicate on this list.
