FOR CHEFS & DELI MENUS

How Working Chefs Use Onion Microgreens

Sharp onion flavor in elegant micro form. The thin, refined shoots replace chopped raw onion on plates where the chunky version would feel rustic or inelegant.

🍜

French Onion Soup Topper

A tall scatter of fresh onion microgreens on top of the broiled cheese crust delivers the raw onion punch against the deep caramelized base. The signature touch on classical French onion soup at restaurant level. Add at the pass after broiling.

🐟

Smoked Salmon and Lox Plate Replacement for Chopped Onion

Bagels and lox, gravlax tartine, smoked salmon canapés, bagel boards. The microgreens deliver the canonical onion-salmon pairing with elegant visual where chopped red onion would feel rustic. Pair with capers, dill, lemon zest, cream cheese.

🥩

Steakhouse Sides and Steak Tartare

Loaded baked potatoes, hash browns, steak tartare, beef carpaccio, pastrami sandwiches, French dip. The microgreens replace the chopped onion in any classic steakhouse application with finer texture and elegant visual.

🥚

Egg Salad and Deviled Eggs

The onion-egg pairing is in every deli case. Onion microgreens folded into egg salad or deviled eggs deliver the onion flavor without the watery cell breakdown that diced raw onion brings. Tall scatter on top adds visual height.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE

How Long Do Onion Microgreens Last?

2 to 3 weeks refrigerated in a sealed container at 38 to 40 °F. Up to three times longer than supermarket green onions, because we harvest the morning of delivery.

❄️

Refrigerate Immediately

Place the clamshell or bag in the crisper drawer the moment they arrive. The thin shoots stay crisp at cold temperatures.

💨

Seal With a Paper Towel

Lay a dry paper towel underneath if transferring. Wicks excess moisture and keeps the thin shoots crisp through the full 3 weeks.

🌡️

Never Cook Them

Heat above 158 °F destroys the quercetin and the volatile onion compounds. Always add raw at the table or as a final garnish, never in the pan.

Tip: chop a fresh batch into compound butter or cream cheese around day 10 to extend the onion flavor into a spread that holds another week.
