The Greens
Microgreens are just early versions of regular herbs and veg, cut before they’ve had a chance to grow. As the goal is micro-sized, trays are sown with loads more seeds than would be sown if growing the full-sized thing whilst not needing any soil. The results are punchy flavours, high nutrient density and something edible that can grow indoors all year-round.
Growing greens for a few weeks is naturally pretty fault-free, there’s just not that much time for things to go wrong and the Jelly type soil we use even reduces the watering. Loads of plants that you’d otherwise not grow indoors can be grown this way. Some trays consist of a mix of different seeds whilst some will be on their own.
The greens will behave differently. Some are slender or have smaller leaves or no leaves at all, whilst others are bushy. Some seeds will cling on to the tops of the stem, some will produce lots of root hairs and some will grow fast, others slow, then some will be slow to start but grow faster when they do. With a selection in each box, these variances help complement the box as a whole.
