Colorful and nutrient-packed: Red Cabbage microgreens are a vibrant choice for home gardeners and chefs. These microgreens feature deep purple stems and greenish-purple leaves, creating a visual and nutritional boost. Loaded with vitamins C, E, and K, as well as antioxidants, they are a fantastic addition to your diet and dishes.

How to Grow: To grow Red Cabbage microgreens, sprinkle the seeds evenly over a shallow tray filled with a light, well-draining soil medium. Gently press the seeds into the soil surface, ensuring good seed-to-soil contact. Mist the tray thoroughly with water and cover it with a lid or another tray to provide a dark, humid environment. Keep the tray at a temperature between 65°F and 75°F, misting daily to maintain consistent moisture. Once the seeds germinate, usually within 2–3 days, remove the cover and place the tray under indirect sunlight or grow lights for optimal growth.

Harvesting: Red Cabbage microgreens are ready to harvest when they reach 1–2 inches in height, typically 7–12 days after planting. Look for bright purple stems and fresh leaves as signs of peak readiness. Use clean scissors to cut the microgreens just above the soil line. Gently rinse them with cool water and pat dry before adding them to your favorite dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, or wraps, or use them as a colorful garnish.
