Organic Red Veined Sorrel Microgreens

  • Sprinkle the seeds over a tray of compost and press down gently. You can cover with a fine layer of compos but it is not necessary.
  • It is advisable to use a micro biologically tested compost such as Klasmann Peat Free Seed Compost to ensure there are no pathogens present.
  • Keep the compost moist (but not soaking).
  • Best kept at a steady temperature of about 20°C. You should see signs of germination after a few days.
  • Sorrel is a slow growing microgreen - can be cut after about 14 days but waiting longer will let true leaves develop fully.

Harvesting and using your baby red veined sorrel leaves

When you are happy with your crop then cut your greens close to the bottom and gently rinse off any compost. If you feel they are getting too big they can all be harvested together and stored in a container in the fridge to keep fresh.
