Planting Instructions

Best Planting Season

• Microgreen Rainbow Blend can be grown year-round, indoors or outdoors. They thrive in cooler temperatures, between 50–70°F (10–21°C), making them an excellent choice for early spring or fall planting.

Planting Details

• Sowing Depth: Scatter seeds evenly on the surface of your growing medium, pressing them gently into the soil. They don’t need to be covered with soil, as they germinate best with light.
• Spacing: Seeds should be scattered closely but not too thickly, ensuring even coverage across the growing surface.
• Soil: Use a loose, well-draining growing medium like seed-starting mix or potting soil. For better drainage, consider adding a small amount of perlite to your soil.

Care Instructions

Watering

• Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mist regularly to maintain moisture without soaking the seeds. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

Light

• Microgreens require plenty of light to grow, ideally 12–16 hours of light per day. If growing indoors, place them near a sunny window or use grow lights to ensure they get enough light.

Temperature

• Ideal temperatures for growing microgreens are between 50–70°F (10–21°C). If growing indoors, ensure the temperature remains consistent and moderate for optimal growth.

Harvesting

When to Harvest

• Microgreens are typically ready for harvest in 7–14 days. The exact time will depend on the variety of microgreens in your blend and how tall you prefer them to be. Harvest when the first true leaves have developed, but before they become too mature.

How to Harvest

• Using scissors or sharp shears, snip the microgreens just above the soil line. Take care not to damage the roots or soil, as they may regrow for a second harvest.

Storage

• Short-Term: Store harvested microgreens in a sealed container or plastic bag in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for 3–5 days.
• Long-Term: For longer storage, microgreens can be frozen, but this may affect their texture. They are best eaten fresh for the maximum flavor and nutrients.

Culinary Uses

• Salads: Add a handful of Microgreen Rainbow Blend to salads for a colorful and nutritious boost.
• Sandwiches and Wraps: Use as a fresh topping for sandwiches, wraps, and burgers.
