The shoots are soft, mild and slightly earthy, with a fresh leafy taste. The seeds are very small, so a little goes a long way, and a single 10 g pack can fill several trays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits \/ Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady to cut in about 8 to 12 days\u003cbr\u003eSoft, mild shoots for salads, sandwiches, dals, parathas and stir-fries\u003cbr\u003eNeeds no garden, just a tray and a bright window\u003cbr\u003eThe seeds are tiny, so one pack gives you many sowings\u003cbr\u003eEasy for beginners and for growing with kids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing and Care for Green Amaranthus Microgreens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSowing: No soaking needed. Sprinkle the seeds thinly and evenly over a moist growing mix. They are very small, so do not bury them. Press lightly and cover with a very thin layer of mix, or just mist over them.\u003cbr\u003eWatering: Mist with a spray bottle once or twice a day. Keep the mix moist, not soggy, and avoid heavy pouring, which can wash the seeds into clumps.\u003cbr\u003eLight: Once the seeds sprout, keep the tray in bright indirect light. Turn it now and then so the shoots grow straight.\u003cbr\u003eHarvesting: Cut just above the soil with clean scissors when the shoots are 2-3 inches tall and the first leaves have opened.
