My microgreens business is over three years old now and I'm still growing the same four
varieties I always have been.
There's a reason why I grow these varieties and why I was able to find so much business
success growing them.
They're relatively easy to grow and my customers love them.
All microgreens contain concentrated nutrition, so these are all going to do wonders for your
health.
But the last one that I mentioned is especially healthy.
Whether you're growing microgreens for personal use or trying to figure out which varieties
to grow for your business, I'm going to show you exactly why these varieties are the best
ones to start with.
First up is pea microgreens.
These are probably my all-time favorite to grow.
They're super easy.
They never give me any problems and they're actually the fastest to harvest out of all
of these varieties.
Pea microgreens tend to have higher yields and the variety that I use is Dun Pea.
There's a bunch of different varieties you can use for different purposes.
There's green peas that have tendrils which are great for chefs.
So try out the different pea varieties and see which ones that you like best and the
ones that fit your needs the best.
The taste is sweet like sweet peas and these are also a really good variety for juicing.
Next up is radish microgreens.
Just like the pea microgreens, ,these are very easy to grow and are resistant to over-watering
making both of these varieties great options to start with.
The variety of radish that I use is called China Rose because they have these beautiful
pink stems that really stand out.
This is definitely my flashiest variety and the most visually appealing.
The flavoring is spicy and they really pack a punch when you eat them on their own.
When mixed with other foods, they tend to taste a little bit more mild.
So they're a great option for salads and sandwiches, soups, really anything else that you want
to add these microgreens to.
Comment below and let me know what microgreens you first started with or if you haven't grown
microgreens before, let me know which varieties you're thinking about growing first.
Next up is sunflower microgreens.
These can be a little bit trickier to grow, especially because the seeds on the market
are inconsistent and this variety also requires a little bit more maintenance than the other
two varieties I mentioned already.
Nevertheless, these are a really rewarding variety to grow, if you are up to the challenge.
The seed variety to use is called Black Oil.
I find that the bigger the seeds that you get, the better the plants are going to turn
out with those seeds.
These sunflower microgreens are actually one of the most popular microgreen varieties in
the health niche.
Sunflower shoots have a mild and slightly nutty flavor and these microgreens are actually
really high in protein and contain elevated probiotics.
These are also a really good microgreen variety for juicing, just like the pea.
Next up is broccoli microgreens.
These are relatively easy to grow ,just like the first two varieties, but are a little
bit more vulnerable to over-watering.
So, just be careful not to over-water, otherwise you can create an environment that's prone
to mold growth.
These are the healthiest variety of all the microgreens and contain a nutrient density
of 40 times that of the adult broccoli plant.
It also contains a concentrated form of the phytochemical sulforaphane, which does a multitude
of great things for your body.
I recommend looking that one up.
