Growing kohlrabi microgreens is relatively easy. Fill a shallow container, such as a grow tray with a well-draining growing medium. Sprinkle kohlrabi seeds evenly and at the correct density over the surface and press them gently into the substrate. Mist the substrate to keep it moist and place it in a humid environment with the recommended photoperiod and temperature. Germination typically occurs within 4-7 days. Once the microgreens reach 5-15 centimetres tall, usually in 7-14 days, they’re ready to harvest. Kohlrabi microgreens are relatively low-maintenance and can be grown indoors year-round. Microgreens are often sold at a premium due to their concentrated flavours and nutritional value, and selling at farmers’ markets or through local stores or subscription services establishes a direct connection with customers. Selling locally grown microgreens fosters a sense of community and supports the local economy. Kohlrabi microgreens are nutrient-packed, offering vitamins (C, K) for immunity and bone health. They provide essential minerals like potassium and calcium, benefiting heart and bone function. Kohlrabi microgreens have a mild and slightly nutty flavour with a subtle hint of the characteristic kohlrabi taste.
