Leek Microgreens
Leek microgreens.
They have a fresh onion flavour. Very similar to onion and spring onion microgreens. They are very attractive and flavourful. Great when used fresh on burgers, wraps, steak dishes and salads. They have a long green stem and generally the seed hull is still attached to the end, which makes it great for decorating fine dishes.
Difficulty level: Easy
Germination: 3-4 days
Total grow: 15-20days
Sow weight: 20-30 grams per standard 53 x 27 x 3 cm grow tray
1. 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 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.
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 3 to 4 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 15 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.
