Sweet Corn Microgreens

Description

Sweet corn microgreens are young corn plants harvested at a very early stage, typically when they are just a few inches tall. They have tender, grass-like leaves with a mild corn flavor.

Planting Instructions:

• Soak sweet corn seeds in water for about 8-12 hours to encourage germination.
• Fill a shallow tray with potting soil or a soilless growing medium to a depth of about 1-2 inches.
• Scatter the soaked corn seeds evenly over the soil surface, aiming for about 10-20 seeds per square inch.
• Gently press the seeds into the soil using a flat surface to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
• Mist the soil surface with water to moisten the seeds and soil.
• Cover the tray with a clear lid or plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect, keeping the humidity high.
• Place the tray in a warm, well-lit location, such as near a sunny window or under grow lights.
• Keep the soil consistently moist by misting with water as needed.
• Sweet corn microgreens will typically germinate within 3-7 days and can be harvested when they are 2-3 inches tall, usually after 7-14 days.
