How to Grow

• One of the fastest growers in the microgreens range, Broccoli Calabrese requires very little preparation. No soaking is necessary – the thin seed hulls open easily, allowing you to sow them directly onto your chosen growing medium.

Growing Conditions and Care

• Spread the seeds evenly over a moist growing medium and gently press them into the surface.
• For easier harvesting and storage, consider stopping watering approximately 12 hours before cutting.

Harvesting and Use

• Broccoli microgreens are ready to harvest when they reach approximately 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) tall. For the best flavour and texture, harvest before the true broccoli leaves become established.
• Because nutritional values can vary depending on growing conditions, harvest stage and serving size, Broccoli Calabrese microgreens are best enjoyed as part of a varied and balanced diet rather than for any specific health or medicinal purpose.
