Growing Tips for Home Gardening

To grow clean, juicy microgreens, we recommend these simple steps:

1. Substrate: While amaranth can grow in soil, it is best grown on coconut coir, linen, or jute mats to avoid mess.

2. Sowing: Spread seeds evenly over a moist surface (do not cover them with soil).

3. Light: Amaranth loves light! The more sunlight it receives, the more intense its signature red color will be.

4. Watering: Use a spray bottle for gentle misting; avoid overwatering to prevent mold.

Usage & Storage

• Culinary Use: Perfect for salads, vitamin smoothies, cold soups, and as a gourmet topping for seafood or appetizers.

• Important: Do not cook or heat the microgreens; eat them raw to preserve 100% of their nutrients.

• Storage: Keep harvested microgreens in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–7 days. Do not freeze!
