Microgreen Kale
Microgreen Kale
Plant microgreen kale seeds and grow one of the most nutritious super-foods known. They are high in vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, carotene, amino acids, and protein. These mild-tasting, pale green greens look very nice if the first true leaves are allowed to emerge. They also contain sulphoraphane, a compound thought to have powerful cancer fighting qualities. Microgreen kale seeds are easy to grow - and fast! Start them on the surface of (or just buried in) sterilized seed starting mix, and keep moist. Once the first true leaf pair emerges, they can be harvested at any point.

Season & Zone
Microgreens can be grown at any time of the year as long as you can supply enough light.
Timing
Timing microgreens depends on the individual kinds of greens you will be growing. Cress grows really fast, and can be harvested a few days after sowing. Carrot seeds can take as long as 2 to 3 weeks to germinate, so you should expect to allow extra time.
