Microgreens sprout in just days, are super easy to grow and packed with nutrition
Survival Garden Seeds offers amaranth microgreens seeds for those looking to infuse their dishes with vibrant colors and robust nutrition. Our non-GMO seeds are selected for their rapid growth and intense flavor, ensuring a quick harvest.
Amaranth microgreens, the young seedlings of the amaranth plant, have striking red leaves. With high levels of vitamins A, C, E, and K, plus calcium, magnesium, and iron, amaranth microgreens add a substantial nutritional boost to any meal. Growing them is an effective way to enjoy the benefits of this ancient grain.
Spread amaranth microgreens seeds thickly over 1/2-1 inch of moist potting mix in a well-draining shallow container. The container should be about 5 inches by 5 inches in size. Press seeds in firmly. Mist with water and cover to block out any light. Place the container in a completely dark space. Keep covered and in darkness for 5-6 days. Mist when needed to keep the seeds moist. When microgreens begin to lift the cover (1-2 inches of growth), expose them to direct light. Harvest with scissors in 8-12 days
Amaranth microgreens grow fast. They require regular misting from planting to harvest. Adequate light is crucial. It prevents the shoots from becoming leggy and promotes healthy growth. Harvest amaranth microgreens when they are about 2 to 3 inches in height. Cut them just above the soil line. To maximize amaranth microgreens benefits, use them immediately after harvest.
Growing amaranth microgreens at home is a rewarding process. It provides a steady supply of fresh, tiny greens. Whichever way you choose to consume them, they will be a tasty addition to your healthy lifestyle.
The general process of growing microgreens is fairly simple. The steps are as follows:
