Rocket Microgreen Seed Packs
Rocket Microgreen Seed Packs
Rocket for microgreens is a very fast growing green. It has a punchy flavour with a tangy and peppery taste. Add to any savory meal for a boost of nutrients, flavour and colour. Rocket will be ready for harvest in approximately 7 days.
How to grow your microgreens:
Prepare your tray with drainage holes and fill with potting mix (make sure you are wearing a mask).
Sprinkle your seed evenly but generously over the soil. You can sprinkle a little bit of soil over the seeds but I prefer not to.
To assure germination and rapid growth, keep the seed tray moist but not drenched, using a spray bottle to do your watering is the best.
Once they are approximately 5cm long, cut or pick them above the soil line, for most species this will be approximately 7 days after sowing.
Add to a soup, salad or even your eggs and avo on toast to give that extra boost of nutrients and colour.
