Untreated, open-pollinated Tatsoi seed for commercial microgreen production. Tatsoi produces attractive dark green, rounded cotyledons with tender pale green to whitish stems and a mild, fresh brassica flavour. Its compact growth, rich green colour and versatile flavour make it a practical option for microgreen farms, market gardeners and growers supplying restaurants, retailers and fresh produce customers.

Growing Tatsoi Microgreens for Commercial Harvest
Use approximately 15–20 g of seed per standard 10 × 20 inch tray as an initial trial range. Fine-tune the rate for your tray dimensions, medium, airflow and target harvest size. Aim for even coverage without dense piles of overlapping seed.
- Prepare trays. Fill with an evenly moistened growing medium, or prepare your chosen growing mat according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Sow evenly. Distribute seed across the surface. Pre-soaking is not normally required.
- Cover for germination. Mist as needed, then cover or stack trays according to your production method to maintain moisture and good seed-to-medium contact.
- Manage moisture. Keep the medium evenly moist without leaving it waterlogged. Germination commonly occurs within approximately 2–4 days under suitable conditions.
- Provide light and airflow. Uncover established seedlings and move trays into suitable natural or artificial light. Maintain good ventilation and monitor moisture closely.
- Harvest cleanly. Cut above the growing medium when the crop reaches your preferred size, commonly around 8–15 days after sowing.
Flavour & Culinary Uses
Tatsoi microgreens have a mild, fresh brassica flavour with subtle mustard notes. Their dark green, rounded cotyledons and tender stems provide a clean presentation and work well as a garnish on plated dishes or as a fresh addition to salads, sandwiches, wraps, bowls and mixed microgreen packs.
Their relatively mild flavour makes Tatsoi particularly useful where a fresh brassica character is wanted without the stronger heat associated with mustard or radish microgreens.
