Microgreens

There has been so much focus in the past few years on nutrition and the value of vegetables and raw food. Microgreens have certainly earned their place way up at the top of the list. Often referred to as Natures Super Foods and rightly so, they packed with powerful vitamins and minerals.

Brassica campestris var Chinensis

Mizuna has a mild and tangy, bitter-sweet flavour with subtle notes of pepper and mustard.  It is best harvested once the attractive, frilly true leaves have emerged and matured slightly.

Pisum sativum

Pea microgreens taste much like full grown peas and are known for being sweet.  Harvest the pea shoots when they are about 5-8cm tall and have developed tendrils.

Raphanus sativus

Radish is one of the fastest and easiest microgreens to grow; you could be harvesting in as little as 10 days!

Radish Red Arrow microgreens have a milder taste than mature radish, they have dark green leaves with attractive pink to red stems.  Usually tasting their best when picked at the cotyledon stage.

Eruca sativa

If its a nice peppery taste you are keen on, then give Rocket a try.  As a microgreen, Rocket tastes the same as the fully mature plant.

Triticum Aestivum

An easy-to-grow nutritious microgreen. Spread seed liberally over your tray and cover lightly with soil.  It can enhance germination if you pop the seeds you are about to sow in the fridge for two weeks beforehand.

NZ grown seed.
