INTRODUCING CILANTRO MICROGREENS SEEDS

Microgreens cilantro plants are the tender young seedlings of the cilantro plant. They get harvested before developing into grown leaves. These tiny plants offer an intensely concentrated cilantro flavor, and, compared to mature cilantro, they also provide a more potent dose of nutrients in a small package. Growing micro cilantro is an efficient way to enjoy this herb's benefits all year round. A continuous supply of fresh baby herbs can enhance the flavor and nutritional value of meals.

HOW TO GROW CILANTRO MICROGREENS

Soak cilantro seeds for 8-12 hours prior to planting. You can also crush the seeds in your hand to improve germination rates. In a shallow tray filled with a sterile, seed-starting mix, sow the cilantro microgreens seeds. Evenly distribute the seeds on the surface. Press them gently into the medium, mist, and cover to retain moisture. Keep the moist seeds in a dark place for about a week to 10 days. Keep the soil consistently moist with regular misting. Once they grow an inch or two, move them to a spot under grow lights or near a window to allow them to develop some green color.

MAINTAINING CILANTRO MICROGREENS

Cilantro microgreens can be harvested in two to three weeks from planting. They thrive with steady moisture and light. These factors contribute to lush growth, preventing legginess. Harvest your microgreens when they reach around 3 inches. Cut them above the soil line, and use fresh cilantro microgreens immediately for the best taste and most nutrients.

Give growing cilantro microgreens at home a go. It’s perfect for any time of the year. Especially during winter, when the growing season is off. Get that zesty taste of cilantro in a convenient and concentrated form.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
