Shop growing suppliesThe first tray
Fill a clean shallow tray with pre-moistened growing medium. Smooth the surface lightly so your seeds have an even place to settle.
Scatter seeds close together without piling them up. Mist thoroughly, cover for blackout time, and keep the tray comfortably warm.
After germination, move your tray into bright indirect light. Water from the bottom when the medium begins to feel lighter.
Most microgreens are ready in 7–14 days. Snip just above the soil line, rinse gently, and enjoy right away.
Harvest well
Cut in the morning when greens are crisp. Use clean scissors, leave the growing medium behind, and refrigerate unwashed microgreens in a breathable container. Add them at the end of cooking, or enjoy them fresh in bowls, sandwiches, eggs, and smoothies.
A nourishing habit
Rotate different microgreen varieties to bring a range of flavors, colors, and plant nutrients to everyday meals.
A countertop harvest makes it easier to add a handful of greens whenever you are making a meal.
Notice the light, watering rhythm, and flavor you enjoy most. Your next tray can be even better than the last.
Start with a simple kit, choose seeds you are excited to taste, and let the first harvest teach you the rest.
