Why Grow Mizuna Microgreens?

Mizuna is a plant renowned for its numerous health benefits. As microgreens, it becomes even more valuable, containing concentrated doses of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as lutein, which supports eye health. The high antioxidant content helps combat free radicals and reduces the risk of certain cancers. Furthermore, regular consumption of these young leaves boosts immunity, improves blood clotting, supports the skeletal system, and positively influences metabolic processes. It's a healthy and delicious investment in well-being.

Preparation for Cultivation

Growing Mizuna microgreens is simple and accessible to everyone, regardless of gardening experience. To begin cultivation, you'll need a shallow container (such as a tray, pot, or special microgreens tray), a permeable substrate (universal soil, peat, or coconut mat), and a mister to maintain adequate moisture. Ideally, the container should have drainage holes to allow excess water to escape, preventing seed mould. Sow the seeds densely on the substrate surface and gently press them into the soil. There's no need to cover them with soil, which helps keep the leaves clean and ensures better air access.

Site Conditions

Mizuna microgreens thrive best in a bright, warm spot with access to diffused daylight. The optimal growing temperature is 18-22°C. During winter, supporting cultivation with LED artificial lighting can accelerate germination and growth. Consistent substrate moisture is crucial, so daily misting is necessary to provide the seeds with ideal growth conditions. Maintaining proper humidity and lighting will result in lush and healthy microgreens.

Growing

The cultivation of Mizuna microgreens takes about 10 to 14 days. The seeds begin to germinate within a few days, and the young seedlings grow quickly and evenly. To speed up germination, you can cover the container with foil to create a humid microclimate. Once the plants reach a height of 2.5–7.5 cm and produce the first pair of true leaves, they are ready for harvest. The leaves are cut just above the soil surface, best done with scissors or a sharp knife. The harvest is a one-time event, meaning after cutting the plants, you should repeat the sowing process to enjoy another batch of fresh microgreens.

Harvesting

Mizuna microgreens can be harvested just 10-14 days after sowing. They are cut just above the substrate and are best consumed fresh, as this ensures they retain maximum nutrients and intense flavour. If you wish to store them, they can be kept in the refrigerator, but it's best to consume them within 1-2 days to avoid losing their flavour and nutritional qualities.

Usage

Mizuna microgreens are a versatile culinary ingredient. Their slightly spicy, mustard-like flavour suits a variety of dishes. They can be used as an addition to salads, coleslaws, sandwiches, meat dishes, pasta, soups, stews, and smoothies. They also work excellently as a garnish for dishes – their vibrant green colour is eye-catching and gives dishes an appetising appearance. Due to their aroma and taste, Mizuna microgreens are a perfect fit for Asian cuisine but also complement classic European dishes well.
