Wheatgrass Seeds for Microgreens and Sprouts - 100 Grams

•Wheatgrass seeds

•Shallow trays or pots

•Soil (potting mix or organic soil)

•Water

•Spray bottle (optional)

•Light source (sunlight or grow lights)

•Soak the Seeds: Measure out the desired amount of wheatgrass seeds (about 1 ounce for a standard tray). Soak the seeds in water for 8-12 hours. This helps to initiate germination.

•Prepare the Tray: Choose a shallow tray or pot with drainage holes. Fill the tray with about 1-2 inches of soil. Level it out and lightly compress the soil.

•Spread the Seeds: After soaking, drain the seeds and spread them evenly over the soil surface. Aim for a dense coverage, as the seeds will sprout and fill in the space.

•Cover the Seeds: Lightly sprinkle a thin layer of soil over the seeds (optional) or leave them uncovered. Water gently using a spray bottle to moisten the soil without displacing the seeds.

•Water and Cover: Cover the tray with a damp cloth or another tray to create a dark, humid environment, which encourages germination. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.

•Provide Light: After 2-3 days, once the seeds begin to sprout, remove the cover and place the tray in a location with plenty of light. If using grow lights, position them about 6-12 inches above the seedlings.

•Water Regularly: Water the wheatgrass daily or as needed to keep the soil moist. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to mold.

•Harvest: After about 7-14 days, the wheatgrass will be 6-8 inches tall and ready to harvest. Use scissors to cut the grass just above the soil line.

•Store or Use: Enjoy your fresh wheatgrass in smoothies, juices, or salads. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days if not consumed immediately.

•Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold.

•If growing indoors, consider using a small fan to promote air flow.

•Wheatgrass can be grown year-round, so feel free to experiment with different trays.
