Growing

Harvesting

When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have cotyledons or when the first true leaves have begun to form, depending on preference. Cool growing temperatures may slow the expected amount of Days To Maturity. Using scissors, cut microgreens just above the soil line when you are ready to use them.
