Growing Info

Harvesting: When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have cotyledons, or when the first true leaves have begun to form, depending on preference. Cool growing temperatures may slow the expected amount of days to maturity. Using scissors, cut microgreens just above the soil line when you are ready to use them.

    This is the first time I started growing microgreens indoors. And these seeds are excellent. Growing great and they are yummy on top of omelets, salads and sandwiches.

    Out of all the seeds I purchased in the spring, these microgreens have been the best. Now in October, they continue to grown and sprout new seedlings. Planted in a shallow box, indoors. Mist almost daily.
