GROWING GUIDE FOR SESAME MICROGREEN SEEDS

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Take a flat shallow tray or a garden pot that is at least 4-5 inches deep.
Fill it with clean potting/garden soil mixed with some manure or vermicompost.
Spread the seeds evenly and densely on the soil surface and cover them with a thin layer of soil (or sand).
Allow the seeds to germinate for 3-4 days, keeping them in shade.
Expose your seedlings to sunlight and air as and when most of them start to sprout from the soil surface.
Find a balcony or a kitchen spot that receives good sun and air.

GROWING REQUIREMENTS

SOIL
You can use fresh garden soil, cleaned of any impurities or pebbles. Microgreens also grow well in hydroponics. Mix the soil with 30% manure or vermicompost for better results.

SPOT
Microgreens need 4-5 hours of good sunlight. A bright sunny spot near a window or a kitchen shelf is an ideal one.

WATERING
Water this plant regularly without letting the soil dry out completely. Water should not splash on the tiny seeds directly. The soil is to be kept moist from the sides using a water spray or a can. Prefer watering your microgreens twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening, depending on the room temperature.

HOW TO HARVEST
Sesame Microgreens will start germinating in 2-3 days and you can harvest the microgreens in around 8 to 10 days.
You can start harvesting the microgreens after ten days as per requirement.
Take a pair of sharp scissors or a knife and cut the shoots from above the soil, without touching the roots. Sesame microgreens have a mild and subtle flavour and will go great with many Asian cuisines.
