Harvest Like a Pro: Tips to Maximize Your Microgreen Yields
Hello Microgreen Growers Essential Harvesting Tips: 1. Timing is Everything: Monitor your crops closely and start harvesting when the first true leaves start to emerge. This is typically between 7 to 21 days after planting, depending on the variety. 2. Use the Right Tools: Sharp, clean scissors or a knife are essential to cut the microgreens cleanly without damaging the tender stems. This also helps in preventing fungal infections. 3. Handling with Care: Harvest gently to avoid bruising. Microgreens are delicate, and rough handling can reduce their shelf life and visual appeal. 4. Post-Harvest Care: After harvesting, cool your microgreens to preserve freshness. If not selling or consuming immediately, store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and extend shelf life. What are your go-to tips for harvesting microgreens?
