Scarlet Nantes Carrot Microgreens

Description

Scarlet Nantes Carrot Microgreens are young carrot plants harvested at the cotyledon or first true leaf stage. They have vibrant green leaves with delicate, carrot-like foliage. While they don’t develop true carrot roots at this stage, they possess a mild, sweet carrot flavor with hints of earthiness. Scarlet Nantes Carrot Microgreens are commonly used as a garnish, salad ingredient, or colorful addition to various culinary dishes, providing both flavor and visual appeal.

Planting Instructions:

• Fill a shallow tray or container with pre-moistened potting mix or soilless growing medium, leveling it evenly.
• Scatter carrot 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.
• Scarlet Nantes Carrot Microgreens will typically germinate within 3-7 days and can be harvested when the cotyledon leaves are fully developed, usually after 10-14 days.
