Flavor-packed and colorful: Basic Salad Mix microgreens combine a variety of delicious, nutrient-rich greens that are perfect for adding flavor and texture to your meals. This mix typically includes a combination of mustard, arugula, radish, and other greens, offering a spicy, tangy flavor profile. Rich in vitamins and minerals, these microgreens are a great way to enjoy a nutrient-packed addition to your dishes in just a few days.

How to Grow: To grow Basic Salad Mix microgreens, evenly distribute the seeds over a shallow tray filled with a light, well-draining soil medium. Lightly press the seeds into the soil and mist with water to keep the surface moist. Cover the tray with a lid or another tray to create a dark, humid environment that helps with germination. Keep the temperature between 55°F and 75°F, and mist the seeds daily to maintain moisture. Once the seeds have germinated, typically in 3–5 days, remove the cover and place the tray in indirect sunlight or under grow lights.

Harvesting: Basic Salad Mix microgreens are ready to harvest when they reach 1–2 inches tall, usually 7–14 days after planting. Look for vibrant, tender leaves that are still young and fresh. To harvest, use clean scissors to snip the microgreens just above the soil line. Rinse them gently with cool water, pat dry, and enjoy them in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish to enhance the flavor and nutrition of any meal.
