Swiss Chard
HardSwiss chard microgreens are the young, tender sprouts of the Swiss chard plant, featuring a mild, slightly sweet flavor and an impressive nutrient profile that can add a burst of color and health benefits to various dishes.
Harvest10-14 days
Microgreens are harvested by cutting them just above the soil level. Swiss Chard takes typically 10-14 days to grow.
Sowing density
For optimal growth and yield, Swiss Chard should be sown using 20-30 grams, depending on the variety and desired harvest size.
Germination36-48 hours
Germination is the process by which a seed sprouts and begins to grow, it typically takes Swiss Chard 36-48 hours before the seeds begin to produce sprouts.
Stack4-5 days
Stacking is a technique where multiple trays of plants are stacked on top of each other during the growing process to save space and encourage stem elongation.
Soak4-8 hours
Soaking seeds is a technique where seeds are soaked in water for a certain period before planting to enhance germination rates, shorten the germination time, and improve the overall quality of the microgreens.
Humidity Dome
A humidity dome is a cover placed over plants to create a warm, moist environment that encourages growth and protects them from fluctuations in temperature.
Mold Prone
Microgreens are prone to mold growth due to their high moisture content, and proper ventilation, drainage, and watering are essential to prevent mold growth during the growing process.
