 MICROGREENS: Follow Up Instructions

COVERING: Seeds need darkness to germinate, so keep a cover over your tray for the first 5-7 days after planting.

WATERING: While waiting for sprouts to appear (usually within three to seven days), use a mister/ spray bottle once or twice daily to keep the soil moist, but not soaking wet.

UNCOVERING: After about 5 days, your seeds should have sprouted and will most likely be yellowish. Uncover your tray and place your microgreens near a window that gets plenty of sunlight. They will start to change color (to green) within a few hours of sunlight.

HARVESTING: Your microgreens will be ready to harvest about two to three weeks after planting. Grab some scissors and snip the greens just above the soil.

EATING: To serve, wash the microgreens with water and dry with towels or a salad spinner. For the freshest flavor, harvest and serve them immediately. They can be added to soups, salads, sandwiches or main dishes.

BRACHA: Microgreens do not commonly have bugs but always check the produce for bugs since bugs are not Kosher. Thank Hashem for giving us food from the Adamah (earth) by making a borei pri haAdama and enjoy! בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', אֱלֹ–הֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה
