Micro Cilantro for South Florida Taco, Ceviche & Raw-Bar Menus

Cilantro is the one herb a South Florida kitchen cannot run out of, and the one that behaves worst between the walk-in and the pass. Bunched cilantro wilts within days, bruises when chopped, and loses its aroma the moment it hits a warm plate. Micro cilantro solves that. The leaves carry the same bright, citrusy flavor as the mature herb, concentrated into a tender two-leaf shoot that goes on the plate whole, needs no picking or chopping, and holds its color and lift until the plate reaches the table.

HyperLocal Farms grows micro cilantro year-round in Indiantown and delivers it daily across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, so what you get on a Tuesday in August is the same clamshell you get in January. 8 oz packs, PrimusGFS certified, packed by hand the day it is harvested.

Where it earns its place on the menu

Tacos and tostadas: a pinch over al pastor, carnitas or fish tacos replaces chopped cilantro and reads as intentional instead of scattered.
Ceviche and aguachile: the citrus note in micro cilantro matches the leche de tigre instead of fighting it. Add at service so the leaves stay crisp.
Crudo and raw bar: two or three shoots on a scallop or tuna crudo give the herbal hit without covering the fish.
Pozole, sopa de lima, caldos: float on top at the pass; the leaves stay upright on hot broth longer than chopped herb.
Cocktails: a shoot in a spicy margarita or a cilantro gimlet is the garnish bartenders ask us for most.

What chefs ask before they switch

How much does one 8 oz clamshell cover?

Used as a finishing herb, roughly 60 to 90 plates. It replaces bunched cilantro on the plate, not in the marinade or the salsa base.

Does it taste like real cilantro?

Yes, more so. The flavor is concentrated in the young leaves, which is why a small amount finishes a dish.

How long does it hold?

Kept refrigerated in the clamshell it outlasts bunched cilantro comfortably. Dress it at service, not ahead.

Do we have to order direct?
