Microgreens - Superfood in the Plantui Smart Garden

The Microgreens Tray (also have a look at my Test report an) is in four areas in which you can plant up to four different microgreens varieties. For starters, I recommend using the selected seeds directly from Plantui - high growth rates, impeccable quality and the right dosage make all the difference.

The enclosed transparent plastic covers are used to cover the sowing area in the first few days. This creates a climate in which the microgreens germinate particularly well and take their first steps. After successful germination and the first small leaves, remove the transparent covers.

Plantui recommends that the first Height module directly after sowing - in contrast to the cultivation of regular plants (salads, herbs, tomatoes, etc.). This has an impact on automatic watering (more frequent watering). In this way, you ensure that your microgreens grow continuously and under optimal conditions.

The microgreens by Plantui range includes five different varieties: broccoli, red cabbage, pok choi, radish and arugula (rocket salad). One microgreen pack contains four bags, so you can fill all four sections of the microgreens insert. I personally love broccoli because you can use it in so many ways: It's not too spicy, yet it has a definite flavor. I especially like it as a side dish, decoration and enhancement of Italian food, but it's also good as an addition to a slice of bread.

The Experiment with new and proprietary plant varieties lies in the DNA from Plantui. Try out your own seeds and discover new, wider worlds of microgreens! There is a lot to discover, because microgreens are incredibly versatile, healthy, look great and grow quickly.

After 7-14 days the microgreens are ready for harvest! To harvest, cut the microgreens about 1 cm from the bottom of the bowl. Both stems and leaves are edible. Leave the roots and the lowest part of the stem.

For the most elegant way of presentation take out the tray with the microgreens (each with two compartments for microgreens) and place it on the upturned lid (transparent plastic cover). This will collect the water. This way you can present and use the microgreens directly at the table, at your bar or at a place of your choice. If you can't impress your friends with them... Enjoy your meal, your smoothie or your creative use!

After a successful harvest, I recommend the Thoroughly wash out the inserts of the Microgreen Tray. Remove all remnants of the roots. Already done? Then it's time for the next portion of microgreens!

It is not necessary to wash the entire Microgreens Tray, only the inserts.
