Germination tips for microgreens
- •Soak kohlrabi seeds for 4-6 hours before sowing — this improves germination uniformity.
- •Spread seeds evenly in a dense single layer; avoid stacking as this causes mould in humid Indian conditions.
- •Keep blackout cover for 3-4 days; kohlrabi seedlings push up strongly in darkness.
- •In Indian summer (above 35°C), mist lightly twice daily — kohlrabi seedlings are sensitive to drying.
- •Switch to bottom watering once shoots emerge to keep foliage dry and prevent damping off.
- •Harvest at 8-12 days when cotyledon leaves are fully open for peak flavour and nutrition.
- •Kohlrabi microgreens taste mildest when harvested just as leaves open — flavour sharpens with age.
- •Store harvested microgreens unwashed in a sealed container in the fridge; use within 5-7 days.
