Red Cabbage Microgreens

Description

Red Cabbage Microgreens are young cabbage plants harvested at the cotyledon or first true leaf stage. They have vibrant purple-red leaves with a mild, slightly peppery flavor and a crisp, tender texture. Red Cabbage Microgreens are rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to salads, sandwiches, wraps, and other dishes. They also add a pop of color to culinary creations.

Planting Instructions:

• Fill a shallow tray or container with pre-moistened potting mix or soilless growing medium, leveling it evenly.
• Scatter cabbage seeds evenly over the surface of the soil, 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, then cover the tray with a clear lid or plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect.
• 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, avoiding overwatering to prevent mold or fungal growth.
• Red Cabbage Microgreens will typically germinate within 3-7 days and can be harvested when the cotyledon leaves are fully developed, usually after 7-14 days.
