What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are young, tender greens harvested just after the first true leaves develop, delivering concentrated flavors and nutrients. These petite greens have gained popularity for their intense taste and vibrant colors, making them a fresh and nutritious addition to various dishes.

Growing Instructions
- Sow Rate: Use 2.5 – 3.5 grams of seeds per small, punnet-sized growing tray.
- Pre-soak: No pre-soaking is needed for these seeds.
- Planting: Fill your tray with 2 – 3 cm of soil or coir peat, then flatten and moisten the surface. Sprinkle the seeds evenly across the soil, then lightly water.
- Germination: Cover the seeds with an additional tray and store in a well-ventilated, dark spot. Water 1 – 2 times daily, keeping the tray covered for the first 2 days to support germination.
- Light Exposure: After 2 days, remove the top tray and place the growing tray in indirect sunlight. Continue watering twice daily, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
- Harvest: Your spicy microgreens are ready to harvest within 8 – 12 days, once the first true leaves appear. Simply cut the greens just above the soil level with clean scissors.
Quick Tips for Success
Maintain even moisture throughout the growing process and avoid direct sunlight to prevent the greens from wilting. A spray mister can be helpful for gentle watering. Harvest fresh, tender greens regularly for optimal flavor and nutrition.
