Vibrant and nutritious: Crimson Clover microgreens are a fast-growing, nutrient-packed option for microgreen enthusiasts. With their bright green leaves and mild, slightly sweet flavor, these microgreens are a delightful addition to any dish. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, they’re a healthy way to elevate your meals.

How to Grow: To grow Crimson Clover microgreens, start by spreading the seeds evenly over a shallow tray filled with a light, well-draining soil medium. Press the seeds gently into the soil but do not cover them completely. Mist the tray with water to ensure even moisture, and cover it with a lid or another tray to create a dark, humid environment for germination. Maintain a temperature of 60°F to 75°F, misting daily to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically takes 3–5 days, after which you can remove the cover and place the tray in indirect sunlight or under grow lights.

Harvesting: Crimson Clover microgreens are ready to harvest when they are about 1–2 inches tall, usually 8–12 days after planting. Look for their vibrant green leaves and fresh, tender stems. Use clean scissors to cut them just above the soil line. Rinse gently with cool water, pat dry, and enjoy their mild, sweet flavor in salads, sandwiches, wraps, or as a garnish to enhance the visual and nutritional appeal of your dishes.
