Broccoli Calabrese – Microgreen/Sprouting

Broccoli Calabrese – Growing Instructions

Grow as a microgreen

1. Sow your seeds directly onto a moistened growing medium (3-5cm deep) and lightly mist the seeds with water.
2. Place the seeded tray into a second tray without drainage holes. This will allow you to bottom water the tray.
3. Cover with a lid or another tray and lightly mist as needed.
4. After leaves have been developed on day 3-4, remove the cover and place in a well-lit location.
5. When watering the seedlings, keep using the bottom tray.
6. Harvest between 7-12 days or when the seedlings are 5cm tall. Cut the stems above the soil line with a knife or scissors.

4. Drain all of the water until the seeds are damp.
5. Place the seeds in the sprouter and cover with a lid

Make sure to rinse the seeds 2-3 times a day until harvesting around days 5-7.
