Growing microgreens is a fun and easy way to add some fresh, nutritious greens to your meals. Here are some steps to follow to grow your own microgreens:
Choose your seeds: You can use any kind of vegetable or herb seeds to grow microgreens. Some popular choices include kale, broccoli, radish, sunflower, and pea seeds.
Choose your growing medium: You can use soil, a hydroponic growing mat, or even a damp paper towel as your growing medium.
Plant your seeds: Spread your seeds evenly over your growing medium. You can plant them densely, as they will not be growing to maturity.
Water your seeds: Spray your seeds with water until the growing medium is damp but not soaked. You should continue to water your seeds every day or two, as needed.
Provide light: Microgreens need plenty of light to grow. You can place them in a sunny windowsill or use a grow light to provide them with the necessary light.
Harvest your microgreens: Depending on the type of seed you used, your microgreens should be ready to harvest in about 1-2 weeks. Use scissors to cut the greens just above the soil or growing mat.
Enjoy your microgreens: Use your freshly harvested microgreens in salads, sandwiches, smoothies, or as a garnish on your favorite dishes.
With a little bit of patience and care, you can grow your own delicious and nutritious microgreens right at home!
