The swede (rutabaga) Microgreens, young leaves with a unique taste, constitute the latest trend in healthy nutrition. The micro leaves become more and more popular in Europe. They will surprise and delight with their taste, not only vegetarians but meat gourmands too. Swede micro leaves are a brilliant addition to sandwiches, salads and many other dishes. They improve the taste and increase the nutritional value. They have a more distinct taste than an adult vegetable. They improve vitality, strengthen the immune system and detoxify the body. They have a positive effect on the skin, hair and nails. Intense, delicate and easy to grow seedlings are a nutritional bomb for your body.

Microgreens are often confused with sprouts, even though they differ from them substantially. They are in fact vegetable seedlings that have developed several true leaves. They are cut and not eaten with seeds like the sprouts. Young plants contain way more nutrients than their ripe counterparts. They are exceptionally aromatic and ornamental. You can grow them all year long, irrespective of the season. They are harvested after they have grown several centimetres tall. These tiny, crisp, juicy leaves will provide you with unforgettable gustatory experience.

To grow microgreens, you need a flat container filled with soil and a sprinkler that will help you to keep the soil moist. The microgreens seeds presented here are very productive. You will be able to harvest rich yield even from a shallow container. Peat or other highly permeable substrate is recommended for growing these young plants. Seeds of the presented mix should be spread evenly on the soil surface and gently pressed into it. Place the culture in a well-lit place. The germination usually takes from 10 to 14 days. We recommend to cover the container with opaque plastic foil in order to speed up the emergence. Cut the edible parts over the surface after they have reached the desired size. Microgreens are harvested only once.
