Sansho and ginger espuma

A foam based on ginger and Sansho Leaves. The Sansho adds fresh, even tingling taste of citrus, yuzu and kaffir lime. A perfect fresh combination with coconut and ginger. 

Koppert Cress offers chefs a unique selection of freshly sprouted plants (Cresses) and other edible flowers and leaves (specialties), collected from 100% natural aromatic plants. The possibilities with these products go beyond just garnishing, as this component demonstrates.
