Granny Smith and Shiso Leaves Green gel
The lime juice has two functions in this recipe, to maintain the acidity and to prevent discoloration of the apple juice. For the best result, press your own Granny Smith apples.
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.
