📝 Preparation Steps
1
Soak the pea seeds.
2
Place the soil into the growing container until it reaches the rim. Pat gently to level it out.
3
Sprinkle the pea seeds evenly over the surface of the soil in a single, dense layer. Cover with a thin layer of soil.
4
Spray the soil with water. Wait until it is absorbed then spray again.
5
Cover and place a weight on top. Leave to germinate for 3 to 4 days, until all the seeds have sprouted.
6
Remove the cover and expose the seeds to plenty of natural sunlight, or use a grow lamp. Water the growing microgreens from the bottom as often as necessary to keep the soil consistently moist.
7
Harvest the microgreens when they are a rich green color and at least 3 to 4 inches tall, between 8 to 14 days after sowing.
