Red radish microgreens

Red radish seeds for sprouting (Raphanus sativus), offered by the seed company Weston Seeds

Red radish sprouts are distinguished by their purplish-red stems and bright green, small leaves. Their lively, peppery flavor is reminiscent of fresh radishes, offering a bold aroma and crisp texture that instantly enhance salads, sandwiches, lunch bowls, or crudit platters. They germinate quickly and bring both color and character to your dishes.

Cultivation method:
After a light soak, place the seeds in a jar or spread them on a moistened tray. Rinse twice a day, ensuring good air circulation. The sprouts will develop quickly and take on their characteristic color within a few days. Harvest at the desired length and allow to dry slightly before refrigerating to prolong their freshness.

Soaking
Soak the seeds for 4 to 6 hours to activate germination evenly.

Yield
One tablespoon of seeds produces approximately 2 to 3 cups of colorful and aromatic sprouts.

Storage
Store unsprouted seeds in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration or freezing ensures optimal preservation.
