Germination tips for microgreens
- •No pre-soaking required — mustard seeds are tiny and absorb moisture from damp cocopeat instantly.
- •Sow at medium density; mustard seeds clump when wet so always sow dry.
- •Keep trays covered in blackout for 2–3 days to encourage upright stem growth.
- •Bottom water after sprouting — surface misting can flatten the small seedlings.
- •Mustard microgreens are ready in 6–8 days — one of the fastest varieties after radish.
- •Harvest when cotyledons fully open for a sharp, peppery, pungent flavour.
- •Flavour mellows slightly if harvested a day earlier — taste-test on day 5 to find your preference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do mustard seeds need soaking before sowing?
No. Mustard seeds are tiny and absorb moisture instantly from pre-moistened cocopeat. Soaking them causes mucilage formation and clumping, making even spreading difficult. Sow dry directly on damp cocopeat.
How long do mustard microgreens take to grow?
Mustard microgreens are ready to harvest in 6-8 days from sowing — one of the fastest varieties. Germination appears within 24-48 hours in warm Indian conditions.
What do mustard microgreens taste like?
Sharp, pungent and peppery — similar to wasabi or strong mustard. The flavour is intense and a little goes a long way. They are excellent in salads, sandwiches, and Indian chaats as a flavour accent.
Are mustard microgreens the same as sarson?
Yes, this is the same mustard used across north Indian cooking, harvested at the seedling stage. The flavour is sharper and cleaner than mature sarson leaves.
How much mustard seed does one tray need?
About 10g for a standard tray, so a 100g pack covers roughly ten trays. Mustard seed is fine, so spread it thinly and evenly rather than in clumps.
Why are my mustard microgreens too hot to eat?
Heat builds with age and with light exposure. Harvest at day 6 rather than day 8, and keep the tray out of direct sun once uncovered, for a noticeably milder result.
