What are the easiest microgreens to grow at home?
Microgreens can be easy to grow at home if you provide the correct envirnment and choose a more hardy variety. Here’s our top pick for which microgreens to try growing yourself at home first:
No. 1 Radish
Radish microgreens are fast growing and have a wonderful spicy flavour. They only require 5-7 days of growing before they can be harvested.
No.2 Sunflower
Sunflower microgreens are also fast growing and have a lovely nutty flavour. They are ready to harvest in 7-10 days.
No. 3 Pea Shoots
Pea shoots are a larger variety making them quite hardy, they have a slightly sweet flavour and are ready to harvest in 7-10 days.
What makes these three varieities ‘easy to grow’?
#1 Fast Germination
Radish, Sunflowers, and Pea Shoots all germinate quickly, usually within 24-48 hours. This means you can see the results and progress quickly, especially if you are growing at home with children.
#Tolerant
Our three chosen varities are relatively tolerant to different light conditions. They can grow in bright sunlight as well as indirect light.
#Forgiving
Radish, Sunflowers, and Pea Shoots are each forgiving to beginner mistakes, such as over watering, as well as under watering. They will also survive if not given enough light, this makes them a great choice to beginner growers.
