Fragrant and versatile: Cilantro – Slow Bolt microgreens are a perfect choice for adding a burst of fresh flavor to your meals. These microgreens are prized for their signature citrusy and herbaceous taste, making them a favorite in global cuisines. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, they’re as nutritious as they are flavorful.

How to Grow: Growing Cilantro – Slow Bolt microgreens is simple and rewarding. Spread the seeds evenly over a shallow tray filled with a well-draining soil medium. Cover the seeds lightly with a thin layer of soil and mist with water to maintain moisture. Cover the tray with a lid or another tray to create a dark, humid environment for germination. Keep the temperature between 60°F and 75°F, and mist daily to ensure the soil remains moist. Germination can take 5–7 days due to the seeds’ hard outer coating, after which you can expose the tray to indirect sunlight or grow lights for healthy growth.

Harvesting: Cilantro microgreens are ready to harvest when they reach 1–2 inches in height, typically 10–21 days after planting. Look for their vibrant green, lacy leaves and a fresh aroma. Use clean scissors to snip the microgreens just above the soil line. Rinse gently with cool water and pat dry before using them as a flavorful garnish for tacos, curries, soups, salads, or any dish that can benefit from a touch of cilantro’s distinctive taste.
