How to grow amaranth microgreens.

Method 1. In soil.
1. Fill the tray with 4–5 cm of soil; there should be raised edges to hold the sprouts in place.
2. Spread the seeds over the soil surface and lightly tamp them down. Small seeds, such as broccoli, radish, arugula, and watercress, should not clump together. Larger seeds should cover the entire surface.
3. Moisten the seeds with a spray bottle.
4. Cover the container and place it in a dark, warm spot for a few days (up to 5). Ventilate daily and water as needed. The soil mixture should remain consistently moist (but not soggy!)—like a wrung-out sponge.
5. After 3–5 days, stems will appear—now they’re ready to be placed on the windowsill. The more light, the better. Rotate the trays and mist with a spray bottle.
6. Harvest as soon as the first pair of true leaves appears (2–3 cm tall).
7. You can reuse the soil. No fertilizer is needed—everything necessary is in the seeds.

Method 2. Without soil.
1. Soak the seeds in water for a few hours so they swell and germinate faster later.
2. Pour water into the bottom of the germination container. There should be 1 cm of space between the water surface and the rim of the container.
3. Cover the container with the top part—a plastic mesh. Spread the seeds of your chosen crop evenly over the mesh.
4. Spray the seeds with a spray bottle for additional moisture and place them in a warm, well-lit spot.
5. Once the seedlings have grown enough that their roots are caught in the mesh, start rinsing the greens under running water. Do this 2–3 times a day. After rinsing, don’t forget to refill the container with water so that the plant roots can reach the water.
6. Harvest the young greens. Depending on the crop’s growth rate, the microgreens will be ready to eat in 5–10 days.
