Growing chard microgreens is relatively easy. Sow seeds at the correct density on a well-draining medium and keep in a bright, climate controlled area. Maintain moisture and good airflow. Germination occurs in about 3-7 days. Harvest when they’re around 5-15 centimetres tall, usually in 7-14 days. Chard microgreens can be sold at a premium price due to their unique flavour, colourful appearance, and nutritional benefits. Effective marketing to local restaurants, specialty stores, and farmers’ markets can lead to a favourable profit margin. Chard microgreens have a relatively short growth cycle, typically ready for harvest in about 7-14 days. This fast growth allows for continuous production and quick turnover. Growing chard microgreens offers a learning experience for all ages about plant growth and nutrition. They’re ideal for vertical farming as they are suitable for growers with limited space and they support sustainable food practices. Chard microgreens are a nutrient-rich source of essential vitamins and minerals. They’re abundant in vitamin K, vital for bone health and blood clotting, alongside vitamins A and C, which bolster immunity and promote skin health. These microgreens contain vital minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium, supporting energy production, muscle function, and heart well-being. Packed with antioxidants, they combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Chard microgreens also supply dietary fibre, aiding digestion, and their vibrant stems, spanning shades of red, yellow, and green, enhance both visual appeal and culinary creativity. Chard microgreens have a mild and slightly earthy flavour, similar to mature chard but less intense. Their taste is delicate and versatile, allowing them to complement various dishes without overpowering other flavours.
