• Specifications Seed Type : Non-Hybrid, Open Pollinated and Non-GMO Seed Pre Soak : 8-12 hours in cold water Growing Medium : Soil / hydroponic Flavour : Nutty flavour with a crunchy texture Colour : Medium green
• Fresh garden soil, free of any impurities or pebbles. Mix the soil with 30% manure or vermicompost for best results.
• 4 to 5 hours of good sunlight
• Regular watering; Do not splash water on the seeds directly. Keep the soil moist using a watering can or spray bottle. Water your microgreens twice a day, depending upon the room temperature.
• These tiny leafy greens are the best because they are fast-growing and are ready to be harvested within a mere 7-12 days. These plants can grow up to 3 inches tall but can be harvested earlier as well, depending upon your requirements. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the shoots just above the soil surface without damaging the roots.
• Keep the soil dry 4-5 hours before harvesting the shoots. Don’t harvest immediately after watering the plants. Rinse the shoots with warm water before immediate consumption. Or you can even store them in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. But, microgreens lose their nutritional value over time, so it is advisable to consume them immediately after harvesting.
