Microgreens growing guide

To grow microgreens, you only need seeds, a growing mat or substrate, and a container.

• Soak the mat in water and place it in the container where the greens will grow.
• Spread the seeds evenly over the mat. They should cover the surface without piling on top of each other. Spray the seeds with water.
• Cover the container to create a greenhouse effect. Close it fully if the lid has holes; otherwise leave a small gap for airflow.
• Keep the container in a dark, warm place until shoots appear. Make sure the mat stays moist.
• When shoots appear, move the container to a warm, sunny place and remove the lid. Keep the seeds moist, but avoid overwatering because it can cause mold.

When the shoots reach 3-4 cm, they are ready to eat.
