Harvest Like a Pro: Tips to Maximize Your Microgreen Yields

Hello Microgreen Growers

Essential Harvesting Tips:

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.
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.
Handling with Care: Harvest gently to avoid bruising. Microgreens are delicate, and rough handling can reduce their shelf life and visual appeal.
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.
