A vibrant member of the Kale family, red kale microgreen with its dark green leaves and multi coloured stems of purple , pink and occasionally red has a mildly sweet flavour compared to other Kales. Known for antioxidants, fiber, Vitamins A, C, K, iron, and copper, it also helps lower risk of certain types of cancers. Red Kale is available all through the year to add a nutty, rich taste to your salads and smoothies. Temperature range of 18-24 degrees is ideal for growing red kale. Supplementary light may be added on days with low natural light.
Planting instructions
Take a flat shallow tray or a garden pot that is at least 4-5 inches deep.
Fill it with clean potting/garden soil mixed with some manure or vermicompost.
Spread the seeds evenly and densely on the soil surface and cover them with a thin layer of soil (or sand).
Allow the seeds to germinate for 3-4 days, keeping them in shade.
Expose your seedlings to sunlight and air as and when most of them start to sprout from the soil surface.
Find a balcony or a kitchen spot that receives good sun and air.
Growing Requirements
soil
You can use fresh garden soil, cleaned of any impurities or pebbles. Microgreens also grow well in hydroponics. Mix the soil with 30% manure or vermicompost for better results.
Spot
Microgreens need 4-5 hours of good sunlight. A bright sunny spot near a window or a kitchen shelf is an ideal one.
Watering
Water this plant regularly without letting the soil dry out completely. Water should not splash on the tiny seeds directly. The soil is to be kept moist from the sides using a water spray or a can. Prefer watering your microgreens twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening, depending on the room temperature.
how to harvest
Microgreens are easy to grow and the harvest gets ready in around 7-12 days.
The shoots can grow upto 3 inches long, but can be harvested early according to your requirement.
Take a sharp scissor or knife and cut the shoots just above the soil surface carefully, without affecting the roots.
Make sure to not harvest your crop immediately after watering the plant. Keep the medium dry 4-5 hours before the harvest.
Rinse the cut shoots with warm water and consume immediately for maximum benefits.
