The seed bags in those kits are portion bags as the ones in here. The only difference is that in the dropdown above you will only find seeds that are suitable for Microgreen cultivation.

The Surprise Me option is if you love surprises. Here I choose a sprout type for you that you do not already have in your order. Feel free to write in the order message box if you are into spizy or mild sprouts on beginner or practised level.

TIPS FOR YOUR
ORGANIC MICROGREENS

MOULD OR ROOTS

If you are new to the world of microgreen cultivation, then you may wonder why some plants form fluffy roots. These are called Root hairs. They look like mould for the first 2-4 days of your cultivation.

You wil especially see this on Broccoli, Kale, Sunflower and Radish. But corn and other microgreens may also form them. The key to ensure they are roots is to smell your microgreens. If the scent is like soil, the plants have gone bad and must me discarded. But if their scent is like fresh salad, then the plants are fine.

You can eat the root hairs same as the rest of the plant. They have much fibre, but not much taste. If you find the roots a bit ‘much’, you may choose to cut them off, when you harvest your mature microgreens.

FUN MICROGREENS SEED MIX

Are you tempted to mix the microgreen seeds from several seed bags to create your own sprouting mix?

I understand your desire, but I recommend you wait to mix the varieties until you harvest your sprouts or microgreens.

Why?

Because even if you cultivate your plants in a SproutPearl sprouter, then many of the seed varieties will not trive when growing close together with a variety that is not in the same bothanical family.

So to ensure you get the best experience when cultivating your microgreens, I recommend that you buy my pre packed mixed seed bags.

Home grown Mizuna Sprouts are fun to cultivate in your own kitchen all year. Your Mizuna will grow into delicious crispy Sprouts in 6 days or Microgreens in 12 days. Both sizes of Mizuna plants have a strong taste of pepper mixed with mustard.

Mizuna sprouts are beautiful and rich in antioxidants. They are delicious in salad, sandwiches, wraps and as crispy topping on many dishes.

50 gr seeds provide 30 handfuls of fresh Mustard sprouts or 45 handfuls of crispy microgreens.

You can grow Mizuna seeds in the Ceramic Sprout Tray or on Hemp mat. They will not thrive in a normal sprouter as the seeds form gel. When you harvest them, you cut the stems just above the hemp mat and discard the mat with the roots. If you grow them on the sieve, you can eat the whole plant incl the root.

Sprouting Time for Organic Mizuna Seeds

If your kitchen temperature is 18-23 °C / 64-73 °F, then your Mizuna Sprouts should be ready for harvest after just 6 days of cultivation.

COTTON OR HEMP MAT

Mizuna need to grow on cotton woll or hemp mats as these seeds are mucilaginous – they form gel when wet.

Whether you choose cotton or hemp is not important.

However, it is important, that you choose 100% organic quality. This way your plants do not absorb unwanted substances, but can grow well and healthy for your benefit.

CHOOSE SPROUTING SEEDS

You can often buy Mizuna seeds for garden cultivation.

But non-organic garden seeds are often sprayed with anti-fungi to help them withstand the natural fungi and bacteria in soil.

However, anti-fungi will give you a stomach ache, so always only buy certified sprouting seeds for your sprouts and microgreens cultivation.
