Growing lemon balm microgreens is relatively easy. Begin by scattering lemon balm seeds evenly and at the recommended density on a well-draining substrate. Maintain consistent moisture by misting with water, ensuring the soil remains damp but not waterlogged. Maintain humidity, temperature and light. As they grow, continue to mist the microgreens. Harvest when they reach 5-15 centimetres in height, usually in 7-14 days. By cultivating and selling lemon balm microgreens, you provide a fresh, nutritious, and unique ingredient to your community. You cater to the demand for microgreens while contributing to sustainability and promoting the use of fresh, flavourful herbs in cooking and beverages. Microgreens are often sold at a premium due to their concentrated flavours and nutritional value, and lemon balm microgreens are relatively low-maintenance and can be grown indoors year-round.
Lemon balm microgreens offer nutrients like vitamin C for immunity and skin health, vitamin A for vision, and minerals like calcium and potassium, important for bone and heart health. Lemon balm microgreens have a delightful lemony flavour and aroma. Their taste is fresh, citrusy, and mildly sweet, reminiscent of lemon zest.
