Coriander microgreens, also known as cilantro microgreens, are grown for their bold, unmistakable flavour and fresh aroma. They deliver a bright coriander fragrance, an intense herbal flavour, and a slightly peppery finish, making them a favourite in flavour-forward dishes.
While they take a little longer to germinate and mature than many microgreens, they are well worth the wait for both flavour and yield.

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Germination: 4–7 days
Total grow time: 14–21 days
Seed rate: ±30g per standard 53 × 27 × 3 cm grow tray
Rinse the seeds for a few minutes before planting. This can to improve germination. Sow enough seeds to cover the growing surface evenly (approximately 30g per standard 53 × 27 × 3 cm tray).
Prepare a growing medium using coco coir, perlite and vermiculite. Spread a thin layer of medium in the tray, distribute seeds evenly, then cover with an additional 1 cm layer of growing medium.
Place a top tray (preferably without holes) over the planted seeds and add light weight (such as a small tile or stone). This encourages strong root development and helps shed seed hulls.
Keep the medium moist using a spray bottle until most seeds have germinated. Remove the weight and invert the top tray to create a blackout dome, encouraging stems to lenghthen to no longer than 1-2cm.
After 1–2 days in blackout, move the tray into light. This can be under grow lights or in natural sunlight. A bright windowsill works well.
Water daily as needed. Coriander microgreens are typically ready to harvest within 14–21 days.
Monitor seeds closely during germination. If any mould appears, remove affected seeds immediately.
If available, lightly spray the affected area with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution to help control fungal growth.
