Radish China Rose Microgreens and Sprouting Seeds 250G

Radish China Rose microgreens have wonderful bright pink coloured stems and vibrant green leaves that will liven up any plate. They are rich in vitamins and are suitable for sprouts or microgreens. Radish shoots have a slightly spicy flavour and will be ready to eat in 2-3 days for shoots and 7 days for microgreens. In the first few days, radish seeds can develop white hairs and these can lead to mould forming. The hairs are an indication that the seeds are not being rinsed often enough, rinse vigorously under running water to remove. Radish China Rose can be grown as a Microgreen or as Sprouts.

How to grow Radish China Rose Seeds:

Equipment Sprouter Radish China Rose Seeds Culture For Growing radish China Rose As Sprouts

1. Make sure that the Sprouter is super clean and sterile.

2. Place the seeds in the bottom of the Sprouter (no grid tray in place).

3. Cover the seeds with tepid water. Stir the seeds to ensure that all the seeds get soaked, a vital process for smaller seeds. (Use water that is at room temperature, water that is either too hot or too cold can shock the seeds and also slow the germination process). Don’t put too much seed in the tray, allow the seed sufficient room to expand… insufficient space will lead to mould issues as air cannot circulate sufficiently.

4. After the initial soak of 8-12 hours, skim off any floating seeds, empty the water by using the grid tray, so that the seeds get caught in the grid, the seeds should be left damp and not swimming in water. Drain as much of the water as possible. 

5. Place grid tray with seeds in the Sprouter and cover with clear lid. 6. Rinse 2-3 times per day with room temperature water, by running water through the seeds on the grid tray. Use lots of water and if possible, rinse under high-pressure water. Drain as much of the water as possible.

7. Continue rinse cycle until harvest.

8. Harvest on day 6, when the leaves are open and most are green.

9. De-hull before refrigerating. Hulls may be removed but they are not harmful to eat, removal helps to minimise spoilage in storage.
