Easy guide to growing living tray of microgreens

If you have limited time, space or gardening skills but love to eat fresh microgreens right after harvesting, our living trays are the best choice for you. Our microgreens can be sold before being harvested. This means that the plant can be bought whole and cut at home, keeping them alive until they are consumed. However, is it difficult to continue growing them at home? Let me introduce you to growing microgreens at home!

For living tray:

Microgreens can be harvested when the germinated seeds have developed tiny roots and at least their first true leaves. They have similar health benefits to sprouts, but greater nutritional value. Microgreens are very convenient to grow, as they can be grown in a variety of locations. You can grow microgreens indoors on a sunny windowsill or kitchen bench. They are also suited to a mini greenhouse, or outdoors on your balcony, covered porch, or shade house with no need for a garden. Remember to lightly water by misting with a spray bottle, twice a day. Microgreens are usually harvested 7–15 days after germination, once the plant’s first true leaves have emerged. Microgreens are meant to be harvested when they have grown their first 2 true leaves (that develop after the seed leaves). We usually sell them on the 10th day, at that time they’re harvestable. A couple more days, the seedlings are 2.5-10cm (1-3 in) tall, your yummy microgreens are ready for harvesting!

Microgreens taste best when harvested young at this stage. If you let them grow too big, the flavor of the leaves will develop a stronger taste so it’s really up to you. They will then become baby salad leaves rather than microgreens. You can use clean, sharp kitchen scissors to cut stems just above the soil. After harvesting, your greens will keep for 7-10 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. How to store them?

Before closing the box, you can lay a piece of wet paper towel (just a little bit wet) on the top of the microgreens. Normally, the microgreens can be kept in the fridge for a week or so. Do not put them in the freezer. We don’t usually wash the greens before packaging because that can reduce the shelf life. Therefore, you can slightly and gently wash them under running water and spin before putting them into the plate.

There’s no need for anything else but a gentle rinse to remove any soil particles.

Their taste can vary greatly depending on the variety, from neutral to spicy, slightly sour or even bitter.

Many microgreens are a good source of vitamin E, C, and K. They are loaded with Beta-Carotene which is good for vision, immunity, and overall health.
