Cup of Microgreens

Grow your own food quickly without taking up space!

Fill the cup/s with soil and lightly water with a mister. I water with a mister because heavy water pressure can flood or remove the soil.

You can use just about and type of vegetable seed. I find leafy greens to be the easiest. The seeds I selected are a basic salad mix. Arugula, radish, kale, and broccoli work just fine as well.

Generously spread the seeds over the moist soil. Do not burry the seeds. They will grow uncovered.

Place seeds under a light. You can also place them on a window seal or counter top that gets a good amount of natural light.

After about 5 days, they will be 1-2 inches tall. You can cut them with scissors and add them to your food.

Select a mug or cup you would like to use to grow your microgreens. Make sure you wash and dry it first. the cups can be deep or shallow. I used dessert glasses.
