Arugula microgreens are wonderful for helping keep bones healthy and strong. The same amount of calcium is contained in arugula microgreens as is found in spinach. A benefit of the arugula microgreens is that it has a much lower amount of oxalates compared to spinach, which prevent full calcium absorption.

Harvesting: Harvest when the look and the flavor is to your liking. So, begin sampling the greens when the first set of leaves form to determine when to cut. Generally, the first leaves can be harvested about two or three weeks after planting, when they reach 2 - 3 in height. The smaller leaves have a more tender texture and delicate flavor than the larger leaves, which can be quite peppery and intense in flavor; cut the leaves just above the soil, removing the outer leaves first. By the time the plant develops flowers the leaves may be too bitter to eat, though the flowers are also edible and make an excellent garnish. The harvested leaves quickly lose their freshness and should be used within about 6 days. Before storing them, rinse the leaves thoroughly to remove any sand and dry them well. They can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.

(Continued From Top) - Bring the beauty and the taste of cucumber-like flavor to your kitchen with our borage microgreens. Borage microgreens are uniquely textured with micro hairs on its surface but they aren't overwhelming. Borago officinalis flavor is very similar to cucumbers with a fresh planty bitterness that will add depth to salads and sandwiches!  Some people even liken the flavor to cantaloupe, lemon, or even celery.  It depends on your taste buds! Like the slighlty furry mature borage plants, the microgreens have tiny hairs on the leaves; however, not enough that they are not palatable. You can also grow borage as an edible herb or plant in your flower garden.

Continued From Top) - In its microgreen form, basil retains its medicinal properties. It packs an even denser nutritional punch, making it a valuable addition to any diet. They are typically harvested before they reach 3 inches in height since they taste better when slightly smaller. Basil microgreens are among the microgreens with the slowest growth rates. They will still be grown in a few weeks, of course.

Genovese bsil is a unique seed in that it develops a jelly-like coating when it gets wet. To aid with germination, mist more frequently to keep the coating moist. Grows very well hydroponically and does better in well-lit conditions, but it is a slower grower. You may experiment with harvest times past 10 days. Genovese basil is a beautiful green color with an interesting shape that makes for a colorful garnish. Micro basil does not grow tall, so you will need to harvest close to the root line and rinse well. 

Harvesting: Basil leaves can be harvested as soon as they reach a height of 3 inches. The best time to harvest the leaves is in the morning after the dew dries. After the plant is established, harvesting often actually improves production; once the flowers develop, however, the leaves grow bitter to the taste. Remove single leaves or parts of a stem as needed, taking care to leave at least three sets of leaves on the length of the stem for healthy growth. When harvesting, pinch off the stem directly above the next set of leaves. Fresh basil will keep for several days at room temperature, with the stems in a glass of water; if refrigerated, it tends to wilt and turn brown. Basil also freezes and dries well. Since the water content of basil is very high and it can mold easily, the best method for drying is a dehydrator, an oven, or a similar dry, warm location.

Harvesting: Harvest once cotyledons have fully developed, or once the first true leaves begin to emerge, depending upon your market. Typically, microgreens are harvested at 1/2 - 2" in height. Cut with scissors or a sharp knife and minimize handling to reduce damage. Average days to maturity is 21 - 28 days when harvested at the first true leaf (as opposed to cotyledon) stage.

Harvesting: For baby greens, pick the leaves when they reach a height of 4 - 5 inches; baby greens are tender and flavorful, perfect for salads. The entire plant can be harvested at any point, or individual leaves taken for a continuous harvest. Mature leaves, which tend to be stronger in flavor, often taste best when cooked. Avoid using leaves that have begun to turn yellow, as these have passed their prime. Once cut, greens keep in the refrigerator for 3 - 4 days. Cut mustard shoots close to the base of the stem with a  sharp, good quality knife.  Do not use scissors as this will tear the base of the stem and reduce storage time.  Mustard does not have a firm stem so be gentle when cutting. Mustard microgreens freeze well when blanched.

Prepare your growth medium, whether it be soil or a hydroponic growth mat, by getting it sufficiently moist. Spread seeds evenly across the surface of the growth medium. The denser you sow the seeds, the thicker your crop will turn out. However, be wary of over-seeding, which can lead to to the seeds becoming overcrowded, leading to crop failure. After seeds are sown, you can decide whether or not to cover them for about four days to allow seeds to germinate in darkness. Some growers say that dill prefers light while germinating.  A T5 grow light will work best because they’re long-lasting and efficient or in a place in your home that gets a lot of sunshine (rotate crop if next to a window to prevent "bending" in the microgreens). If you’re going to grow your microgreens all year long, you may also want a heating mat to regulate the soil temperature if you know the growing area will get cold in the winter.

Harvesting: Harvest when the leaves are open and an inch or two tall which is usually between 14 - 21 days. Cut just above the medium with scissors or sharp knife. Harvest the fern-like dill leaves as needed as soon as they reach a desirable size; the best time to harvest is in the morning after the dew dries. Peak quality of the leaves occurs when the tiny flowers on the heads begin to open. Though the flavor is best when the leaves are fresh, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, dried, or frozen.
