Orchid Fairy Mix™ is comprised of small blooms, averaging 1 to 3 centimeters in diameter, and each flower has around five petals that spread outward around an open center. The petals are broad, flat, and curved with a smooth, soft, supple, and velvety texture. They also bear faint veining on the petals' surfaces. Orchid Fairy Mix™ showcases pastel hues in variegated white, pink, and purple, with some flowers featuring splashes of green. The blooms can be a single solid color or a mix of several of these hues. The blooms have a succulent, aqueous, and crunchy texture with a tender mouthfeel. Orchid Fairy Mix™ is edible raw and is known for its fresh, mildly tart, and green flavor with a clean finish.
Orchid Fairy Mix™ is available year-round.

Orchid Fairy Mix™ is sought by chefs and home cooks as a multi-purpose ingredient and is used fresh on a wide array of sweet and savory dishes.
Orchid Fairy Mix™ has not been studied for its vitamin and mineral content, as the flowers are small and not consumed for nutritional purposes. Edible flowers, in general, are a source of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system. They also provide varying amounts of minerals, such as iron, potassium, and calcium, but in small amounts. These minerals help the body produce the protein hemoglobin, which facilitates oxygen transport through the bloodstream, maintains fluid balance, and supports bone and tooth health.
Orchid Fairy Mix™ has a mildly tart flavor, suited to both fresh and cooked preparations. The mix is typically used as a finishing element, applied to dishes and drinks for added color, flavor, and texture. Orchid Fairy Mix™ can be pressed into logs of soft cheeses and butter for enhanced aesthetics, or strategically placed on appetizer platters, salads, or atop various raw dishes. The mix is marketed to help chefs take their dishes to the next level with a garnish that can be quickly added to elevate a dish. Try adding Orchid Fairy Mix™ to desserts like cakes, on top of chocolate-dipped treats, cookies, and other frosted preparations. The flowers can also garnish seafood dishes, such as ceviche, grilled fish, sushi, and crudo. Beyond culinary dishes, Orchid Fairy Mix™ is ideal for adding colors to drinks, and the flowers can be floated on cocktails, spritzes, and punches. Champagne cocktails, sours, and lemonades shine when decorated with these blooms. They can also be placed on the rims of beverages in addition to floating them on the surface or used to decorate the bases of drink bowls and food displays. Orchid Fairy Mix™ can be paired with other colored orchids or tropical flowers to create a more prominent garnish or decorative addition. The blooms will typically keep for several days when stored in the refrigerator. It is recommended to immediately use them for the freshest appearance.
Orchid Fairy Mix™ is promoted by Fresh Origins as an impactful finishing element for chefs and mixologists to use on celebratory occasions. The edible flower mix is often favored for Valentine’s Day, as the blooms offer sophisticated colors and elegant shapes to create a charming, romantic visual. Orchid Fairy Mix™ is versatile and complements both sweet and savory dishes without overpowering other flavors. Orchids have become a favored Valentine’s Day bloom because they have traditionally symbolized lasting love, admiration, and purity. Historically, orchids were a flower reserved for the nobility and upper classes because they were difficult to source, grow, and care for. This gave the flowers an air of royalty, and later, during the Victorian Era in England, they were used in floriography to convey that someone was beautiful. These symbolic meanings have carried over into the modern day, where orchids are given as a rose alternative on Valentine’s Day because their blooms last longer. Orchid Fairy Mix™ is used to evoke these same feelings in beverages and plating and appears in shades of pink, purple, and white, which symbolize femininity, royalty, admiration, luxury, love, and grace. The blooms offer visual impact with an air of restraint, keeping the dish uniform and composed.
