Soft herbs are delicate greens with big, bold flavours, provided they are used in the right way.

These annual plants have soft fleshy stems and should be added towards the end of cooking to preserve their aroma. They also make delicious additions to salads and drinks, adding fragrance as well as colour to your meals.

As fresh-cut soft herbs suppliers, we source our produce from farms across the globe to ensure that these luxuriant bunches of goodness retain their colour and delectable flavour. We then carefully package them so that you get premium soft herbs that look and smell like they’ve come straight from the garden.

Basil
A fragrant warm-weather herb that is a universal favourite. Fresh-cut basil is an integral part of any Italian meal, but the uses of this aromatic soft herb are limited only by your imagination.

Chervil
Whilst not used very often, chervil can bring a lovely aniseed flavour to your cooking. It looks like a smaller version of parsley and goes well with fish, soups and sauces.

Chives
Chives are a part of the onion and garlic family, but have a much more delicate flavour. They make an excellent addition to salads and make an excellent topping for a summery potato salad!

Curly Parsley
A very common soft herb, curly parsley packs more flavour than its flat-leaved cousin. Besides, the shape of its leaves makes it an interesting garnish as well.

Coriander
A popular soft herb used across the world, coriander brings a strong and distinctive flavour to the table. Ideal for curries, salads and soups, these aromatic leaves can make even the most boring dishes come alive.

Dill
A herb with a sharp, aniseed flavour, dill makes a pretty garnish with its feathery leaves. Best known for its use in pickles, this strong and distinctive-flavoured herb is also a favourite with fish.

Flat Parsley
A very popular herb with a complex flavour that is stronger than its cousin, curly parsley, flat parsley is used in all sorts of dishes, including soups, salads, stews and sauces.

Lovage
For a herb you don’t hear about a lot, lovage is surprisingly versatile. It has a complex flavour that is reminiscent of parsley, aniseed, celery and curry. It is equally at home in chicken or fish, soups or salads.

Marjoram
Marjoram is a member of the mint family and possesses the aromatic sweet aroma that characterises the other members of the group, which include basil and sage. While it has popularly been used in savoury cooking, it’s now also being used in cocktails, especially those made with clear liquors.

Micro herbs
Micro herbs or micro greens are the seedlings of salad plants and leafy greens. These are ideal for healthy salads and smoothies as they pack concentrated flavour and health benefits.

Mint
Everyone knows the flavour of mint and how refreshing it can be on a hot summer day. Put it in yoghurt or salads, muddle it into your mojito or go with a classic mint sauce to pour over your lamb… you won’t be disappointed, no matter how you use it.

Oregano
Extensively used in Greek and Italian cooking, this is another versatile herb. With a distinctive flavour this herb can be used in a variety of dishes across a spectrum of cuisines.

Purple Basil
The unique colour of these coppery leaves is ideal for salads, but the clove-like spicy flavour makes this herb more than just a pretty herb. If you love basil and want a stronger flavour, this is the herb for you.

Sorrel
The large arrow-shaped leaves of this herb taste slightly sour, making them a great addition to salads. However, this herb can be used just as easily in soups, stews and even desserts!

Tarragon
Tarragon has a sweet aniseed flavour that complements eggs, poultry and cheese beautifully. But instead of limiting yourself, why not try it in salad dressings and soups as well?
