Vibrant and nutrient-dense: Cabbage – Red Acre microgreens are a stunning addition to your indoor garden with their deep purple stems and vibrant green leaves. These microgreens are rich in vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, offering both beauty and health benefits. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor makes them a versatile choice for enhancing various dishes.

How to Grow: To grow Red Acre cabbage microgreens, scatter the seeds evenly over a shallow tray filled with a well-draining soil medium. Gently press the seeds into the soil surface without burying them. Mist with water to moisten the soil evenly and cover the tray with a lid or another tray to create a dark, humid environment for germination. Keep the tray at temperatures between 65°F and 75°F, misting daily to maintain moisture. After 2–4 days, remove the cover to expose the sprouts to indirect sunlight or grow lights, ensuring they receive adequate light for vibrant growth.

Harvesting: Red Acre cabbage microgreens are ready to harvest when they reach 1–2 inches in height, typically 8–12 days after planting. Look for their bright purple stems and fresh green leaves to ensure peak flavor and quality. 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, wraps, sandwiches, or as a colorful garnish to elevate your culinary creations.
