Description:

Amaranth Green microgreens are delicate and petite, thriving in warmer environments. Optimal germination and growth occur in a warm, shaded location, as excessive direct sunlight can be detrimental. These microgreens remain compact, necessitating close-to-root harvesting and thorough rinsing. While suitable for hydroponic cultivation, they exhibit better performance in soil-based setups.

Microgreens, typically measuring 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) in height, boast intense flavors and concentrated nutrients. Positioned between sprouts and baby greens, they are harvested approximately 7–21 days post-germination, upon the emergence of true leaves. Only their stems and leaves are edible, allowing for prolonged freshness until consumption. Microgreens are versatile in cultivation, thriving outdoors, in greenhouses, and even on windowsills.

For optimal growth, provide a suitable growing medium such as potting soil or compost-filled containers. Alternatively, utilize disposable growing mats tailored for microgreen cultivation. Adequate lighting, whether natural or ultraviolet, is crucial, ideally provided for 12–16 hours daily.
