• Versatile Culinary Use: Add a fresh, slightly spicy kick to your meals. They are perfect as a garnish, mixed into salads, blended into smoothies, or incorporated into sandwiches and wraps for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.
• Indoor Cultivation: Easily grow microgreens indoors year-round, regardless of climate or season. This allows for a consistent supply of fresh produce, even in the coldest months, right from your kitchen counter.
• Non-GMO & Organic Assurance: Our seeds are certified organic and non-GMO microgreen seeds, ensuring you’re growing the purest, most natural food possible without synthetic pesticides or genetic modification.
• Space-Saving Solution: Microgreens require very little space, making them ideal for small kitchens, windowsills, or urban environments. A small tray can yield a significant amount of greens.
• Sustainable Living: Growing your own organic broccoli microgreen seeds reduces your carbon footprint by minimizing transportation and packaging waste associated with store-bought produce.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

Cultivating organic broccoli microgreen seeds is a straightforward process that yields quick and satisfying results. To successfully grow microgreens indoors, start with a shallow tray with drainage holes and fill it with a thin layer (about 1-2 inches) of a fine-textured, well-draining potting mix or a specialized microgreen growing medium. Distribute the heirloom sprouting seeds evenly across the surface, ensuring they are not clumped together. Lightly mist the seeds with water and then cover the tray with another tray or a dome to create a dark, humid environment for germination. This blackout period typically lasts 2-4 days, during which the seeds will sprout and begin to develop their initial tiny leaves.

Once the seeds have germinated and the tiny white rootlets appear, remove the cover and expose them to light. For optimal growth, provide bright, indirect light for 12-16 hours a day. A sunny windowsill can work, but for faster, more consistent growth, consider using a grow light. Water the microgreens regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Bottom watering is often preferred to avoid disturbing the delicate seedlings; simply place the tray in a larger tray filled with about an inch of water for 10-15 minutes, allowing the soil to absorb moisture from below. Broccoli sprouts thrive in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Fertilization is generally not necessary as microgreens are harvested before they deplete the nutrients in the initial growing medium. Harvest when the first true leaves begin to emerge, typically 7-14 days after planting, by snipping them just above the soil line with clean scissors. Enjoy your fresh, home-grown greens!
