Growing Rapeseed Microgreen Seeds
Canola Rape microgreens may be grown on a soil or hydroponic medium. However, we always recommend starting with soil because it is the most reliable method of growing seeds. Start by preparing a tray of moist soil. Spread enough seeds over the surface. Be careful not to oversow, as crowding can reduce success. Cover with a layer of soil-based medium and water. Emergence happens in about 5-7 days. The crunchy microgreen leaves will be mature in about 7-14 days. Harvest when the stems are about 5-10 cm tall.
Because rape is a part of the Brassica family, you may notice a similar but milder smell to broccoli seeds. They boast a spiciness similar to mustard or kale that is milder and pleasantly flavorful.
Benefits of Rapeseed Microgreens
