GROWING MICROGREENS FOR BEGINNERS: Cultivation For Health and Business

By Alessio Leandro

The uniqueness of microgreens is in the combination of the benefits of germinated seeds and adult plants. Microgreen retains all vitamins and minerals, has a taste and aroma characteristic of the culture, therefore it can be widely used in cooking. Seeds for growing microgreens should be selected carefully. They should not be treated with chemicals, therefore it is recommended to choose special microgreen series.

Microgreens are grown in different ways (greens in a glass)

In the substrateOn the paperOn cotton padsNon-woven napkins, gauzeIn the germinators

The most popular, but not the best way. A layer of soil of 3-4 cm is poured into a wide, low capacity. The seeds are spread very densely, with an almost continuous carpet. Crops are moistened and the seedling container is placed in a greenhouse. Seeds before planting is better to soak overnight.

A method that does not require working with soil. As a substrate, paper napkins are used, which are placed on the bottom of the seedling container and moistened. The seeds are laid directly on paper and moistened.

Cotton wool is a hygroscopic material that is also suitable for growing greenery. Seeds are laid out on moistened cotton pads and moistened.

Any hygroscopic material at hand can be used for germination. It is enough to lay seeds on it, cover with a film and wait for the sprouts.

Special devices are designed to facilitate the already simple growing of microgreens. The sprouts in them remain clean.
