How To Grow and Harvest Amaranth Microgreens?

  • Tray: Use a shallow tray with drainage holes and fill with 3–4 cm of fine seed-raising mix or coir. Level and mist to moisten evenly.
  • Sowing: Spread seeds in a dense, even layer (close but not overlapping). Lightly press into the medium. Cover with a very thin layer of soil or use a humidity dome.
  • Germination: Keep covered and in low light for 2–3 days at 20–25 °C. Mist daily to prevent drying out.
  • Light: After germination, uncover and place under strong indirect sunlight or LED grow lights. Good light ensures compact growth and vivid red colour.
  • Moisture: Mist regularly to keep the medium moist but not waterlogged. Avoid stagnant conditions that encourage fungal issues.
  • Harvest: Cut just above the soil line at 5–7 cm tall (around day 8–12). Rinse gently, pat dry, and use fresh.
  • Storage: Best eaten immediately. Can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for 1–2 days.

Growing Conditions & Troubleshooting

  • Light & Colour: Provide strong indirect light or multi-spectrum LEDs for compact growth and intense, deep colours that can only really be achieved through supplemental lighting.
  • Temperature: Excessive cold or excessive heat can make it difficult to reliably and consistently cultivate microgreens. Controlled environments work best.
  • Moisture Balance: Keep media moist but never soggy. Overwatering reduces oxygen and weakens stems.
  • Damping Off: A common problem with microgreens production that causes seedlings to rot-out and die, caused by water moulds that thrive in wet conditions. To prevent it, avoid overwatering. Once seeds have sprouted, stop misting from above and switch to bottom watering. Always use sterile trays, tools, and fresh growing media for each batch of microgreens. In some cases, mould may already be present in your water source making it difficult to eliminate. Solution: Ozone-treat your water which is considered an organic practice, or convert your system to reverse osmosis water. As a last resort (not recommended), a diluted cleaning agent such as chlorine or bleach can be used with caution.

Seed FAQ

Seeds don't expire, but their ability to sprout weakens over time. With proper storage, your seeds will remain viable for years, ensuring a high germination rate for every batch of fresh sprouts.

Key Storage Tips:

  • ✅ Keep it Cool, Dry, and Dark: The best place to store seeds is in a location that's away from heat, light, and humidity.
  • ✅ Use an Airtight Container: Jars or sealed bags are ideal. For extra protection against moisture, you can add a silica gel packet.
  • ✅ Consider Refrigeration: For long-term storage, keeping seeds in the fridge or freezer is a great option. Just be sure to let them return to room temperature before you use them.

Sprouting Seed Viability Guide

Here's how long you can expect some of our most popular seeds to last when stored correctly:

  • 1–2 Years: Mung beans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas.
  • 3–4 Years: Alfalfa, radish, fenugreek, and mustard.
  • 4–5 Years: Broccoli, wheatgrass, sunflower, buckwheat, and clover.

If you're unsure about older seeds, you can perform a simple germination test. Place a few seeds on a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag. Keep them moist and check the number of sprouts after 5–10 days to see if they are still viable.
