What Are the Best Microgreens to Grow Indoors?

Posted on May 3, 2021

What are the best microgreens to grow indoors? When it comes to growing microgreens, it’s very important that you know what you are doing so that you don’t end up wasting time and money. You don’t want to waste time because you are growing something that is not going to be good for you and the result might not be what you expected. Here is a list of some of the best vegetables to grow indoors – Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cherry tomato, kale, romaine lettuce, red chard, summer savory and turnips.

Although there are thousands of varieties, the best microgreens to grow indoors are going to be the ones that taste good and are easy to grow. As far as flavor goes, the best ones come from the root crops like kale and cabbage. There are other vegetables that also do well and do not have to be grown in a separate container.

If you are looking for a great tasting vegetable that also has a wonderful aroma, then look no further than the root crop kabut. It has a strong mustard flavor, but it has an intense green color. This is also a great variety to use if you want to add more flavor to your salads. Kabut comes from the Nashi green plant. Although the harvest is small, it is still worth growing if you want to have this type of microgreens on hand.

Harvest time varies depending on the variety, but all of the amaranth microgreens will be ready to eat within seven weeks. The plant will produce an even, golden-yellow color. If you are looking for a taller variety like the purple amaranth microgreens, it will take longer for the crop to be ready for eating, but it will taste as good as the other varieties.

For those of you that are just getting started with your own microgreen business, it can be easy to get overwhelmed when trying to choose what varieties to grow and which plants to keep. There are so many options out there, that it can be difficult to decide. When you are starting your first small garden, it is best to focus on one type of micro green rather than trying to grow a bunch of different ones. However, most people who are just getting started find that they simply do not have the time or patience to learn about which of the many microgreens to grow is best for them. You should make your decision based on how much time and effort you are willing to put toward learning about the microgreens, their growing conditions, and the flavors that they have to offer.

Purple Amaranth Microgreens: These purple flowers are full of chlorophyll, which works as a natural deodorant for your plants. This is why these are great for growing indoors under stress because they are very easy to smell. They tend to have a mild purple color to them, which makes them great for growing in the most humid parts of the house. Because microgreens tend to be a bit more sensitive than other types of greens, it is important to harvest them quickly if you want tender greens.

Mustard Microgreens: While they don’t have as much chlorophyll to work with as the purple amaranth, mustard microgreens are still great for anyone that likes their plant to smell like mustard. This is a great type of microgreen to grow if you like to roast meats and would like your herbs to have a smoky flavor to them. Harvesting will be a lot easier when you have a nice thick stem to grab onto since they are quite large.

If you want to try different types of microgreens, experiment by trying them one at a time. Plant some in your home and see which you like best for having tasty, tender greens. There are several different types of microgreens to try, so try out a few today to find out.
