Microgreens

Microgreens are the baby versions of leafy vegetables and herbs, harvested just after the first true leaves appear. Though tiny, they’re nutrient-dense and bursting with flavor, therefore perfect for adding a fresh, vibrant boost to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.

Microgreens grow quickly and are typically harvested all at once. They do not require thinning and are ready within just a few weeks of germination.

Because of their short growth cycle, they are an easy way to enjoy an early harvest while other plants continue to develop.

• Speedy harvest: They are ready for harvest within 15-21 days depending on the variety.

• No thinning needed: Simply let them develop until harvest.

• Harvesting: Use clean scissors to snip the stems just above the pod surface when the greens are 3-7 cm tall and have their first set of true leaves. Harvest the entire pod at once.

• Switch to a new pod: After cutting, they will not regrow, so a new pod is needed for the next cycle.

Many leafy greens and herbs can be grown as microgreens. These varieties work especially well:

• Arugula (peppery and bold), sprouts within 5-15 days

• Pak choi (mild and crisp), sprouts in 5-15 days

• Basil (Including vanilla basil, aromatic and sweet), sprouts in 10-20 days

• Coriander (citrusy and fragrant), sprouts in 10-20 days

• Raddish greens (spicy kick), sprouts in 7-21 days

• Red cabbage (crunchy and colorful), not yet in our selection of plants

Microgreens are one of the fastest and easiest harvests you can grow in the cabinet. Within just a few weeks, you can enjoy fresh, homegrown greens that add color, texture, and flavor to your meals.
