Germination Guide (Microgreens)

  • Prepare a container with drainage holes  - eg supermarket grape/fruit punnets
  • Line the bottom of the container with a layer or two or (bleach-free) kitchen roll or similar
  • Soak seeds in a glass of water for a few hours
  • Soak the kitchen roll in the container with water and pour off any excess
  • Scatter the seeds over the kitchen roll  and gently press them down to get a good contact
  • Cover the seeds and the kitchen roll with a with a layer of wet newspaper
  • Place the container on a sunny draught-free window sill
  • Water once per day on top of the newspaper 
  • After 2-4 days the sprouts will begin pushing up the newspaper - remove the newspaper
  • Harvest with scissors when sprouts are 4-8cms

Growing Guide (Sprouts)
  • Soak seeds in water for approx 12 hours
  • Drain in a sieve and rinse with cold water
  • Transfer seeds to a sprouting vessel - these can be purchased, but can easily be made from recycled glass or plastic jars with lids or gauze
  • If using lids on the jars needs, the lid needs to have lots of small holes to allow water to drain but not allow the seeds to fall through
  • I find some gauze secured with elastic bands works perfectly well
  • Place in a cool dark place (eg larder or kitchen cupboard) for 48 hours
  • During this period, rinse the seeds and drain 3 times a day
  • Sprouting seeds should be visible from day 2
  • Once the sprouts are 2-2.5cm long bring the jar into some nice indirect light
  • After about 12 hours the seeds should take on a lovely green colour
  • Rinse the seeds, drain and then harvest 
  • Sprouts can be dried off before storing in containers using a spinner or a paper towel
