Why Grow Coriander Microgreens?
Coriander microgreens are a powerhouse of nutrients and active compounds, offering significantly higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals compared to mature plants. Their antioxidant properties help combat free radicals, support digestion, and boost immunity. Additionally, coriander microgreens aid in detoxifying the body by removing heavy metals and toxins. Their calming effects on the nervous system and ability to stimulate appetite make them a valuable component of a natural, healthy diet.
Preparation for Cultivation
Growing coriander microgreens is simple and efficient, with results visible in just 2-3 weeks. Use a flat container, growing tray, or small box filled with a well-draining substrate such as garden soil, peat, or coconut coir. Sow the seeds densely and evenly across the surface, pressing them down lightly without covering them with soil. Mist the substrate gently to maintain optimal moisture levels and place the container in a warm, well-lit spot.
Site Conditions
Coriander microgreens thrive in bright, indirect light on a well-lit windowsill. The optimal growing temperature is between 20 and 25°C. Avoid direct sunlight, which can dry out the substrate, and consider using artificial grow lights during winter for year-round cultivation.
Growing Tips
The cultivation process takes 2-3 weeks. The first sprouts appear within a few days of sowing, and the microgreens are ready to harvest once they reach a height of 2-5 cm and develop their first true leaves. Maintain consistent substrate moisture by misting daily, preferably in the morning and evening, without overwatering. Rotate the container occasionally to ensure even light exposure and uniform growth.
Harvesting
Coriander microgreens are harvested once, by cutting the stems just above the substrate using sharp scissors or a knife. The ideal harvest time is 2-3 weeks after sowing, when the microgreens are 2.5-7 cm tall. For maximum flavour and nutritional benefits, consume the microgreens immediately after harvesting, though they can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
Usage
Coriander microgreens are a versatile addition to many dishes. Their aromatic leaves enhance salads, coleslaws, sandwiches, wraps, soups, and dishes featuring meat, fish, or vegetables. They are a key ingredient in Asian, Thai, Indian, and Arabic recipes. Their decorative appearance also makes them ideal for garnishing, adding elegance to restaurant and home presentations. Enjoy them raw to preserve their full nutritional value and unique flavour.
Resistance to Diseases
Coriander microgreens are naturally resistant to diseases and pests, making them easy to grow at home. Proper substrate moisture and regular rinsing prevent mould and other pathogens. Seeds from Garden Seeds Market are carefully selected and tested, ensuring safe and healthy growth.
