Growing Info
Harvesting: When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have cotyledons, or when the first true leaves have begun to form, depending on preference. Cool growing temperatures may slow the expected amount of days to maturity. Using scissors, cut microgreens just above the soil line when you are ready to use them.

These microgreens are great on salads and sandwiches. Being mild the flavor doesn't overtake the the other food.

What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Mellow Blend Microgreens are hitting that perfect flavor balance for salads and sandwiches!
You've really highlighted one of the best things about this particular blend - that wonderful mild flavor profile that enhances your meals without overwhelming them. There's such an art to finding ingredients that complement rather than compete, and it sounds like these microgreens are nailing that sweet spot perfectly! It's so satisfying when you find something that adds that fresh, nutritious boost while letting all the other flavors in your dish shine through.
We love that you're getting such great versatility out of them too! Microgreens can sometimes be tricky because some varieties are so bold they limit where you can use them, but the Mellow Blend really gives you that flexibility to add them to just about anything. Whether it's brightening up a simple salad or adding that fresh crunch to your favorite sandwich, they're such a perfect everyday addition.
Your experience really captures why this blend is such a great choice for people who want to incorporate more fresh, homegrown nutrition into their daily meals without having to worry about overpowering flavors!
Thank you so much for sharing such a helpful review about how perfectly these microgreens work in your kitchen!
Keep on growing 🌻️

All the seeds I received from you were very few in and had a low sprouting rate
