Mustard microgreens growing at home

Winter is the best time for mustard greens growing. I have tried doing it in the cozy comfort of my kitchen!

All you need is a container, kitchen paper napkin, a little water and a tablespoon of mustard seeds.

Mustard microgreens

Ingredients

A tablespoon mustard seeds

One kitchen paper napkin

One medium container with lid

Method

*In a container, I used a medium sized rectangular airtight container, place paper napkin. Sprinkle a little water, spread the mustard seeds. Close the lid.

*Let it sit in the corner of your kitchen counter.

*Open every day morning and check the tiny sprouts emerging from the mustard seeds. it took two days for them to sprout.

*Today it's fifth day and the microgreens are 1 inch long.

*It will take a weeks time to grow into a good plant. We will add it to salads.

*I am thinking of placing a few plants in grow bags. We will harvest mustard greens in two weeks time.

Happy growing microgreens at home. 

Notes

You can do the experiment with small containers or natural resources like coconut shell, empty ice cream boxes, cardboard boxes, mugs,  grow bags and whatever is available with you.

I have done growing microgreens in many discarded broken pieces of mugs, cups,saucers and wooden boxes.

You can follow the same procedure with seeds you want to grow. 

Day 1

Place a kitchen napkin or cloth towel, sprinkle water and spread a tablespoon mustard seeds.

Day 2

The seeds germinate.

Day 5

Day 7

Small container microgreens are trying to catch up with the big container microgreens.
