Coriander Microgreens
Coriander or cilantro microgreens. Grown for its bold flavours. They have a bright aroma with a bold coriander flavour and slight peppery taste. Furthermore, the bold flavours make them great in salads, wraps, soups and curries. They rake a while to germinate and mature, but definitely worth the wait.
Difficulty level: Intermediate
Germination: 4-7 days
Total grow: 12-20days
Sow weight: 25 grams per standard 53 x 27 x 3 cm grow tray
1. Pre-soak seeds in water (4-8 hrs). Sow enough seeds to cover your growing surface. Roughly 25 grams for a standard 53x27x3cm tray
2. Lay a thin layer of coco peat and perlite mixture in a tray. You can also add compost to the grow mix for added nutrients. Cover the surface area with seeds. Ad an additional layer of grow medium on top of the seeds, at least 1 cm thick. Ad another tray (preferably without holes) on top of the planted seeds and medium. Add some weight in the form of a small tile or stone. This helps to form strong roots and get rid of unwanted seed hulls.
3. Keep wet with a spray bottle until almost all seeds have germinated. Remove top tray and flip over to place greens into blackout. This helps the stems to lengthen.
4. After about 1 to 2 days place the tray into light. This could be into artificial light, sunlight. An exposed windowsill will work just fine.
5. Make sure they have enough water each day. They should be ready within 12 to 20 days
Growing Notes:
Watch the seeds closely while germinating. If any mouldy bits appear, remove them immediately. If you have Hydrogen Peroxide available, spray the infected spot with the solution.
