Little Kitchen Harvest's chilli product

Specialist micro-plant cultivator Little Kitchen Harvest is set to hit UK retailers with an exclusive range of innovative micro-plants.

The unique plants have been developed to meet the current consumer trend of ‘micro-leaf cuisine’ and produce a continuous crop in the comfort of kitchens across the country.

The upcoming launch will focus on chillies, and be followed later in the year by a series of selected micro herbs.

A Little Kitchen Harvest spokesperson, said: 'Spice is trending strongly and consumers love the interaction of being able to grow and then cook with their own produce.

'We’ve worked for two years on breeding our ‘Mighty Mouse” variety chilli pepper - to give tantalising heat but with zesty aromatics, so It’s a great hit of spice and flavour; perfect for Mexican or Thai cooking, but versatile enough for soups and sauces.'

Each micro-plant is complemented with a bespoke ceramic pot that is magnetised so that it can fit safely to the side of a fridge or any other magnetic surfaces in the kitchen.

The company's spokesperson, added: 'As well as creating great dishes, the products are fantastic gifts and we hope to tap into the fresh flower market.

'The launch has been devised to coincide with both Father’s Day and the upcoming festival season; where Taste Of London festival goers will be the first to see the new line.'

Pots will be priced at £5 each and initially available via www.littlekitchenharvest.com
