Microgreens - Garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is a popular ornamental plant that can also be used in the kitchen in form of young uniquely tasting leaves. Its leaves and seeds are edible and valued for their health boosting properties. Microgreens are extremely young plants that display higher concentration of nutrients than the mature plants. They are harvested after they have developed cotyledons and the first pair of true leaves. They stand out with exceptional nutritional value and excellent taste. The delicious and healthy young leaves and stalks contain vitamin C, beta carotene and lutein. They also display anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. You can serve them in salads, with sandwiches, egg and meat dishes.

The microgreens seeds that are available in our store are easy to grow and do not require much work. Sow the garden nasturtium seeds densely in a shallow container, box or tray. Water the culture thoroughly and place in warm, sunny place on a balcony, terrace or windowsill. The plants would only require regular sprinkling with water. The first true leaves should appear after circa 2 to 3 weeks. This is the right time to harvest nasturtium microgreens.
