Mustard seeds can be grown as sprouts or microgreens. They are high in fibre, protein and Vitamin C.
Here we provide instructions for both methods of growing.
Mustard Sprouts:
1. Soak in cool water for 4-12 hours.
2. Rinse and then drain thoroughly.
3. Rinse and drain again every 8-12 hours.
4. Harvest on days 4-6 when most of the leaves are green.
5. Eat immediately or dry and keep in a sealed container in the fridge.
Soak: 4-12 hours
Rinse: 2-3 times a day
Grows in: 4-6 days
Don’t forget to sprout safely and in a sanitary way.
Mustard Microgreens:
1. To grow, sprinkle seeds on a moist hemp mat or tray filled with soil.
2. Keep covered and moist (not soaking wet) until you see the first leaves appear.
3. Uncover and put in a well-lit spot, e.g. near a window.
4. Keep the roots watered but don’t let the soil/hemp mat get soggy.
5. Harvest as you eat them on days 5-14 when the stems are 3-7cm tall.
