Fresh Origins August 2014: What's New on The Farm! Cool Off Your Summer with the New & Innovative Ice Buds™ and Spice it Up with the Petite Basil Nutmeg™ by Fresh Origins

Ice Buds™, Lime Zest, Salt and Sugar Cured Arctic Char, Chili Oil, Sesame Parsnip and XO Sauce. Chef Shola Olunloyo.

Ice Buds™

These unique flower buds are succulent, juicy and salty like seawater. They are glistening with brilliant sparkling beads of water. Ice Buds™ add an unexpected burst of salt water on the palate. Enhance seafood dishes such as oysters, ceviche or any fish. Top a chilled cucumber soup, or replace the olive in a cocktail. 
Petite Basil Nutmeg™

Lovely and unique, rich green leaves. Delightfully aromatic nutmeg flavor. Enhance Italian dishes such as pastas, meats, and stews. Dress up desserts and add a fresh, unique taste to salads. Nice topping for seafood risotto.
