PEA TENDRIL MICROGREEN SEED PACKS
These tasty Fiji Feather Pea microgreens are bred for its feathery tendrils at the end of the shoots. They will re-grow if you don’t cut them too low. Make sure when you cut, they still have a little leaf on the stem. These packs are 80g and based on a standard ice cream size container you should get 2 trays full of seed.
How to grow your microgreens:
-
Prepare your tray with drainage holes and fill with potting mix (make sure you are wearing a mask).
-
Sprinkle your seed evenly but generously over the soil. Sprinkle a little bit of soil over the seeds to help with even germination.
-
To assure germination and rapid growth, keep the seed tray moist but not drenched, using a spray bottle to do your watering is the best.
-
Once they are approximately 5cm long, cut the stems above the bottom leaf. By doing this each time, you will get weeks and weeks of growth from the same tray.
-
Add to your favourite sandwich, salad or even your eggs and avo on toast to give that extra boost of nutrients and colour.
